What is the story about?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday held a phone call with his Armenian counterpart, Nikol Pashinyan, where he thanked the latter for helping in the evacuation of Indians from Iran.
PM Modi also congratulated Pashinyan on the victory of his Civil Contract Party in the country's parliamentary elections and said India looks forward to working closely together to take India-Armenia relations to new heights.
"Earlier today, I was delighted to receive a phone call from Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Congratulated him and his party on their victory in the recently held Parliamentary elections in Armenia," he said in a post on X.
The Indian prime minister thanked Pashinyan for facilitating the evacuation of Indian nationals stranded in Iran following the recent developments in West Asia.
"We reaffirmed our shared commitment to further strengthen our warm and multifaceted partnership across key sectors, including trade, defence, technology and people-to-people ties. We look forward to working closely together to take India-Armenia relations to new heights," he said.
In its latest advisory, the embassy also urged all Indians in Iran to exercise a high degree of caution and remain vigilant at all times despite the “recent positive developments and the improvement” in the situation — an apparent reference to the signing of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU).
“Indian citizens presently residing in Iran, as well as those who may be required to travel to Iran for unavoidable functional reasons, are advised to exercise a high degree of caution, remain vigilant at all times, and maintain constant situational awareness. They are further advised to closely follow local developments through credible sources of information and to comply with all instructions issued by the local authorities,” the embassy said.
