India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at age 92.

Singh is credited for his work on the country’s economic policies as well as for a nuclear deal with the United States.

Current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Singh in a message posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders, Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji,” Modi wrote. “Rising from humble origins, he rose to become a respected economist. He served in various government positions as well, including as Finance Minister, leaving a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years.”

Modi added, “His interventions in Parliament were also insightful. As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives.”
