Russian FM will visit Tehran in coming days for key mutual, regional talks
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will visit Tehran in the coming days for talks on the latest mutual, regional and global issues, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says.
"The visit by the Russian foreign minister to Tehran will be carried out within the framework of constant consultations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation on bilateral relations and regional and international developments," Esmaeil Baghaei said on Saturday.
He added that Lavrov will meet with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi and other officials.
Iran's Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali on Saturday confirmed that Lavorv's day-long visit would take place on Tuesday.
“In this meeting, a diverse range of topics related to mutual, regional and international relations will be examined and discussed,” Jalali said.
The top Russian diplomat last visited Iran in October 2023 for the meeting of the 3+3 cooperation format comprising the three South Caucasus countries of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan plus Russia, Turkey, and Iran.
Iran and Russia, as two close and strategic allies, have over the past years deepened relations in various fields, despite heavy Western sanctions.
In 2001, Tehran and Moscow signed a long-term cooperation deal, officially known as the Treaty of the Foundation of Mutual Relations and the Principles of Cooperation. It was initially set for 10 years but was extended twice up until 2026.
In January 2024, the presidents of Iran and Russia, Masoud Pezeshkian and Vladimir Putin, signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement for long-term cooperation. Both presidents hailed the agreement as a new chapter in relations between the two countries.
