Mr Minister,
Colleagues,
Glad to see you in Moscow.
You and I maintain regular contacts, which is quite natural. Today's international environment requires us to regularly touch base and coordinate our actions.
In their determination to dominate the whole world, our Western colleagues have been consistent in their targeted efforts to break down the structure of international relations in its entirety. Against this backdrop, together with our friends, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, we have been focusing on creating reliable and constructive mechanisms for promoting mutually beneficial cooperation free from any dictate.
Our presidents have outlined clear guidelines for our efforts. They met in January 2022 in Moscow, as well as in July 2022 in Tehran. Today, we will review economic, humanitarian and cultural ties between Russia and Iran in all their aspects and discuss foreign policy objectives as articulated by our leaders.
The issues that stand out on the international agenda include the necessity to revive, fully and definitively, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear programme, our interactions on Syria and other crises in the region, as well as efforts to coordinate our actions within the United Nations.
We have quite a packed agenda. I am looking forward to our meaningful talks.
