Mr Minister,
Friends,
We are delighted to welcome you to the Foreign Ministry for these talks.
On March 17, 2025, President Vladimir Putin held a long and substantive conversation with you, which he found highly productive. Yesterday's meeting further underscored the unprecedented momentum in our political dialogue.
On January 17, 2025, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian paid an official visit to the Russian Federation. I had the pleasure of visiting Tehran in February 2025.
President Pezeshkian's visit saw the signing of a historic interstate treaty that formally established the strategic nature of our partnership. On April 16, 2025, the Federal Assembly of Russia completed the ratification process for this landmark document. The treaty lays a solid foundation for the continued and effective expansion of our bilateral collaboration and for strengthening coordination on the international arena.
I look forward to discussing all these matters in detail today. Once again, I warmly welcome you and your delegation.
