Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday began his two-day trip to Iran with a visit to the capital city's only functioning gurudwara.
Modi, the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Iran in 15 years, offered prayers at the Bhai Ganga Singh Sabha Gurudwara.
He applauded the efforts of the Sikh community in Iran for preserving and spreading the culture and tradition of India.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Indian Prime Minister is in Iran to sign deals to give India better access to Afghanistan and resource-rich Central Asia.
"My Iran visit is starting with the blessings before the Guru Granth Sahib at this gurudwara. I am fortunate. I greet you all for having worked on spreading our culture and tradition as well as educating our young generation here."
"We accept all the people as our own and absorb them in our society because we believe in the philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' -- the entire world is one family. Animated by this spirit, we Indians make every country our home," Modi told the gathering at the gurudwara.
