The Iran Project : President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran and Russia stand steadfast in mutual “sensitive, pivotal and strategic” relations.
According to The Iran Project, Pezeshkian made the remark in a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday ahead of a ceremony to sign a long-awaited comprehensive strategic partnership agreement.
“Iran and Russia are strengthening relations on a daily basis in bilateral, regional and international aspects as well as in the economic and trade sectors,” he said.
The president added that the comprehensive agreement can help the two countries improve relations in all economic, cultural, trade, security and communications areas.
Pointing to Iran’s efforts to remove the obstacles in the way of “full and faster” implementation of all previous agreements with Russia, Pezeshkian noted that the two countries’ experts and officials have held negotiations in this regard which would be finalized during the talks in Moscow.
He said that Tehran and Moscow signed new agreements on the construction of a new power plant in Iran.
Pezeshkian said that Iran believes that regional issues should be resolved by the countries in the region.
“There is no need for others from the other side of the world to come here and disrupt the region and implement their own policies,” the Iranian president emphasized.
He said that the development of Tehran-Moscow relations will thwart their plans.
