20.09.2023
'We are aimed at implementing the entire range of planned activities, despite opposition from the United States and its Western allies. Sanctions pressure on Russia and Iran are demonstrating their futility, while Russian-Iranian interaction is reaching a new level,' Sergei Shoigu said during discussions with Iranian Minister of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani on Wednesday.
At the same time, he expressed readiness 'for further joint action in the field of strengthening stability and security in the Middle East'.
'We note with delight,' the head of the Russian Defence Ministry stated, 'that the Iranian-Russian communication is progressing particularly intensely today'. According to him, this is largely due to the trusting relations that have developed between the leaders of Russia and Iran.
The Russian Defense Minister stressed that 'the high dynamics of the meetings confirms the general mood for further strengthening of strategic partnership in the defence sphere and military cooperation'.
He invited his counterpart to discuss a number of issues of mutual interest during the talks.
