MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The new comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Iran and Russia will give an impetus to the development of relations between the countries, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who arrived in Moscow on Friday, and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to sign a 20-year agreement, prioritising long-term bilateral relations with focus on trade and economics.
During a meeting in Mocow President Vladimir Putin said that Russia and Iran continue to implement joint projects, including in nuclear energy, and there are other possible projects in the field of energy.
"We are continuing our major projects, including the nuclear energy project. We have other possible projects in the energy sector. There are good prospects in the field of logistics," Putin said during talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is on an official visit to Moscow.
Putin also called the current pace of development of trade and economic relations between Russia and Iran as quite acceptable.
He stated that consultations between Russia and Iran on international agenda are in demand.
"Of course, our consultations on the international agenda are in great demand both in the world as a whole and, of course, in the region," Putin said at a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, for his part, said that the new comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Iran and Russia will give an impetus to the development of relations between the countries.

"I am confident that today, after signing our major agreement, which covers all areas of activity of the two countries, including culture, economics, humanitarian relations, I am confident that this will give a great impetus to the development of bilateral relations and this will become a solid foundation for further movement forward," Pezeshkian emphasised.

He mentioned that before meeting with Putin he had spoken with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who highlighted the importance of strengthening ties with Russia.
"As we have noted, our interaction is not only in the region, in the international arena, but also in terms of bilateral interaction, the development of trade, all this pleases us," the president added.
Addressing the Middle East, Pezeshkian stressed that the presence of extra-regional forces can only destabilise the region, problems of which should be solved only through agreements among its constituent countries.
"Our supreme leader and we all look at it this way: all regional problems should be solved only through agreements between regional countries. The presence of extra-regional forces in our region can only aggravate and destabilize the situation," Pezeshkian stated.
