M. Mishustin: Greetings, dear Mr. Aref!
First of all, I would like to ask you to convey the best wishes to the President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian from the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. And of course, from me personally.
Relations between Russia and Iran are based on the principles of friendship, good neighborliness, mutual respect and consideration of each other's interests. During the visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Moscow in January of this year, a new basic Treaty between Russia and Iran on a comprehensive strategic partnership was signed. The task of our governments is to ensure systematic work on the implementation of the agreements that were reached at the highest level.
Russian-Iranian trade and economic cooperation is developing successfully. In May, the Free Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Iran, which was signed on December 25, 2023, came into force. Its implementation will contribute to the growth of mutual trade turnover and the promotion of joint economic projects. We are talking about industry, energy, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and other areas.
Visit
In terms of developing transport logistics, we are actively working together to develop the international corridor "North – South". This strategic highway will ensure the connectivity of the entire Eurasian region.
We are, without a doubt, sincerely interested in developing cultural and humanitarian ties. Let me remind you that more than 9 thousand Iranian students study at Russian universities. In June, a Russian cultural festival was held in Tehran and Isfahan. The flow of tourists is increasing. Joint humanitarian and educational initiatives help our citizens to get to know the rich history of both countries better.
Dear Mr. Aref, the floor is yours.
