Our relations with Iran are unique and historical and we attach great importance to this relationship, he added.
Zarif arrived in New Delhi on Monday morning at the head of a trade and economic delegation and held talks with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj who announced her country will not recognize unilateral sanctions.
India was first non-JCPOA destination for Zarif after US withdrawal from the international pact on May 8.
