Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This visit is not merely about diplomacy but about building a more resilient, prosperous, and stable partnership between two nations that have long shared their cultures and languages.
Historical Context: The 75th Anniversary of Diplomatic Ties
The 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Iran and India was a pivotal moment in their journey towards mutual understanding.

Current Initiatives: Cultural and Strategic Partnerships
