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.

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.

The fifth season of the Summer University project has ended.

The fifth season of the Summer University project, a key platform for global academic and cultural exchange, has ended. This year, more than 1,200 people from 44 countries took part in the project. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He emphasized that the project is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “Russia in the World” and the national project “Youth and Children”.

"The Summer University has been successfully implemented since 2021. During this time, it has proven its effectiveness as a tool for scientific and educational diplomacy. This year alone, more than 1.2 thousand people from 44 countries took part in the project, and over 5 thousand in total. The Summer University provides foreign students with the opportunity to get acquainted with the achievements of Russian science and the advantages of studying in our country. The initiative meets the strategic goal of increasing the number of foreign students in domestic universities, set by Russian President Vladimir Putin," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

As the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted, the project is being implemented with the participation of major companies such as Rosatom, Rusal and Uralmashzavod.

"As part of the Summer University, specialists from leading companies conduct master classes for students and consult with them on how to build a professional development trajectory. Each project participant has the opportunity to personally evaluate the modern educational programs of our universities: this year, seminars and lectures in five areas were available to them – humanitarian, engineering, economics, IT and social sciences," the minister said.

Three leading Russian universities – Kazan Federal University, Siberian Federal University and Ural Federal University – were responsible for the admission of foreign students. In addition, 13 partner universities from different regions of Russia joined the project, helping to implement various educational programs.

In the project work, multinational teams of students developed solutions for the real sector of the economy. A total of 152 projects were developed and defended.

The fifth season also included a rich cultural and educational program – visits to exhibitions and theaters, sports events, industrial tours and familiarization with the infrastructure of Russian universities.

Section of the road Mamrash – Tashkapur – Arakan Bridge, Republic of Dagestan.

In a number of regions, road works under the federal project "Regional and Local Road Network" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life" have reached the equator. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"In recent years, roads in Russia have been renovated at an accelerated pace. International corridors, expressways, regional and municipal roads are being built, connecting people and accelerating the country's development. The national project "Infrastructure for Life" is responsible for the comprehensive renovation of the road network. Since the beginning of the current road season, the laying of the upper layers of road surfaces in 50 regions of the country under the national project has been completed by more than 50%. The largest volume of work – more than 80% – has been completed in six subjects of the Russian Federation: Sevastopol, St. Petersburg, Belgorod, Penza, Voronezh regions and the Republic of Mari El," said Marat Khusnullin.

In 2025, in accordance with all road activity programs, in order to achieve the indicators of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, it is planned to repair, reconstruct and build more than 21.1 thousand km of regional and local roads.

"High-quality modern road surfaces are essential for traffic safety and increased comfort for drivers and pedestrians. In 2025, it is planned to renew 152.5 million square meters of asphalt concrete pavement on regional and local roads. To date, about 66 million square meters of top layers of pavement have been installed," said Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin.

Achieving these results was made possible by significant federal support.

"Financing of road activities is an important tool for ensuring sustainable development of transport infrastructure, improving the quality of life of the population and stimulating economic growth in the regions. Thus, this year, over 601 billion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of the activities of the federal project "Regional and Local Road Network", of which about 337 billion rubles are federal budget funds," emphasized Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency Igor Kostyuchenko.

Thus, in the Penza region, as of the beginning of August 2025, the activities for the installation of asphalt concrete pavement at the national project sites have been completed by 94% of the planned volume. This is 216.2 km of the road network, of which 58.6 km have already been put into operation. In particular, the reconstruction of the bridge over the Shuksha River has been completed, a 6-kilometer section of the Shemysheika – Naskaftym – Novy Machim highway has been repaired, and a section of the Poim – Bashmakovo – Zemetchino highway (7.1 km) has been put into operation. The road is part of the backbone network of the Penza region and connects the Belinsky, Bashmakovsky and Zemetchinsky districts.

The volume of work completed on laying the upper layers of road surfaces in the Mari El Republic has reached 87.4%, which is 533.7 thousand square meters out of the planned 610 thousand square meters. Road works have been completed on one of the longest sites in the region, the Vizim'yary-Yuksary highway. The road leads to socially significant facilities, including the Vizim'yary and Yuksary schools, the district hospital and FAP, as well as kindergartens. In addition, the highway provides access to the federal highway R-177 "Povetluzh'ye". The entire volume of work has been completed on three sites of the street and road network of Yoshkar-Ola: two sections along Leninsky Prospekt and a section on Druzhby Street have been repaired.

In the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass, 70 km of roads are planned to be repaired under the national project this year. Work has been completed at six sites, with three sections on the regional highways Tomsk – Mariinsk, Altai – Kuzbass, Anzhero-Sudzhensk – Yaya already commissioned. A section of the Tomsk – Mariinsk highway located in the village of Tyumenevo has also been overhauled. In the village of Verkh-Taymenka, on a 10-kilometer section of the regional highway Novosibirsk – Leninsk-Kuznetsky – Kemerovo – Yurga, specialists have updated the road surface, arranged sidewalks and installed 8 bus stops.

Document

Resolution of August 14, 2025 No. 1210

For Russian exporters, the amount of mandatory repatriation and sale of foreign currency earnings has been reduced to zero. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The decision was made in connection with the strengthening and stabilization of the national currency exchange rate, as well as the absence of problems with foreign exchange liquidity.

Previously, the largest Russian exporters were required to deposit at least 40% of foreign currency received under foreign trade contracts into their accounts in authorized banks and sell at least 90% of the deposited currency on the domestic market.

The requirement for mandatory repatriation and sale of foreign currency earnings was introduced by a presidential decree in October 2023 to ensure exchange rate stability and the sustainability of the Russian financial market. It applies to exporters working in the fuel and energy complex, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical and forestry industries, and grain farming.

The signed document introduces changes toResolution of May 22, 2025 No. 698.
