Iran and India on Thursday reviewed economic ties and exchanged views on developments in Iraq, Afghanistan and the region, Tehran's visiting Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said.
Mottaki, who arrived in New Delhi on Thursday on a two-day visit, held talks with his Indian counterpart Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"We reviewed bilateral ties... the developments in the region, (the situation in) Afghanistan and Iraq," Mottaki told reporters after talks with Mukherjee but gave no further details.
"We also had a good review of our economic relations," he added. Iran's relationship with India soured over New Delhi's support for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) calls for Tehran to freeze its controversial nuclear programme as well as the UN watchdog's decision to report the issue to the Security Council.
An IAEA report on Tuesday said it was investigating traces of plutonium, a potential weapons material, found in containers at a waste storage site at Karaj, in Iran.
Iran insists it only wants to make reactor fuel.
In September, Indian premier Singh telephoned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "to settle the differences", Indian media reported.
India is in the last stages of sealing a deal with the United States that would allow sales of civilian nuclear supplies cut after New Delhi exploded a "peaceful nuclear device" in 1974.
The outgoing US Congress is reviewing legislation this week that would allow sales once benchmarks are met on separating India's civilian and military nuclear programs. Some US legislators have also conditioned support on a strong stand by New Delhi against Iran's nuclear program.
A major contract to sell Iranian gas through a 2,600 kilometre (1,600 mile) multi-billion dollar pipeline to India via Pakistan has also hit snags with Tehran saying that New Delhi was unwilling to pay the asking price.
