In a tweet on late Saturday, Zarif wrote, "Iran stands in solidarity with India as she braves one of worst episodes of disastrous pandemic, which has become humanity's #CommonPain. "

"Our condolences to bereaved families & prayers for speedy recovery of all afflicted," he added.

"Global coop imperative to end to this global tragedy," Zarif said.
