The Indian Ambassador to Iran, Rudra Gaurav Shresth, paid heartfelt homage to the Indian soldiers who lost their lives in these conflicts. This day holds significance in Commonwealth member states, where it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by armed forces personnel since World War I.
The Indian Embassy in Iran shared the commemoration on social media, stating, “Remembrance Day was observed on Nov 12 at Commonwealth War Cemetery, Tehran, to commemorate those who died in the two World Wars. Ambassador Rudra Gaurav Shresth paid homage to the fallen Indian soldiers.” This act not only honors the legacy of the fallen heroes but also underscores the diplomatic and historical ties between India and Iran.

In 2015, India and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop the Shahid Beheshti Port at Chabahar, Iran. This strategic collaboration aligns with India’s vision to transform Chabahar Port into a major regional and international hub for the movement of humanitarian and commercial goods. The ongoing cooperation between New Delhi and Tehran reflects a commitment to realizing this vision.
Beyond maritime endeavors, India and Iran maintain a significant trade partnership. New Delhi consistently ranks among Tehran’s top five trading partners, with major Indian exports to Iran encompassing rice, tea, sugar, pharmaceuticals, electrical machinery, and artificial jewelry. Meanwhile, major Indian imports from Iran include dry fruits, inorganic/organic chemicals, and glassware.
