The recent visit of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to Iran signifies the growing warmth between the two countries. Iran has provided drones to Russia for its war in Ukraine, strengthening their ties. Their shared anti-western views have also brought them closer, allowing Russia to play a more destabilizing role in the region.
The planned trip by Mishustin aims to enhance bilateral relations and follow up on existing agreements. Iranian Ambassador Kazem Jalali highlighted the importance of this visit in boosting economic relations. With Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, looking to expand ties with Russia, the future looks promising.
Recent discussions between the two countries have focused on various areas of cooperation, including a comprehensive long-term agreement. The trade turnover between Russia and Iran has seen a 6.5 percent growth in just 7 months, showcasing the potential for further partnerships.
In addition, talks between the Iranian Economy Minister and his Russian counterpart centered on strengthening economic ties and collaborating on projects like the International North-South Transport Corridor. As Russia continues to engage with Iran, the future holds great potential for both nations.
