WANA (Sep 18) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that with the determination of both Tehran and Moscow, bilateral agreements will be accelerated and implemented, stressing that the successful model of cooperation between independent countries like Iran and Russia will demonstrate that the era of unilateralism is over.

He added that the responsibility now lies with ministers and expert teams to pursue the process with seriousness and determination.

 

Pezeshkian voiced hope that these exchanges and diplomatic visits would further expand ties between the “friendly and allied countries of Iran and Russia.” He added that the cooperation model of independent states would prove that, without reliance on unilateral powers, nations can achieve growth and development. The president also asked Tsivilev to convey his warm greetings to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

For his part, Tsivilev conveyed Putin’s greetings to Pezeshkian and presented a report on his visit to Iran and meetings with Iranian officials, including follow-ups on bilateral agreements and those reached within the Iran-Russia Joint Economic Commission. He noted that “thanks to the determination of the top leaders of both countries, constructive cooperation has been established,” and officials remain in continuous contact to ensure implementation.
