Putin and Raisi back closer ties in Kremlin meeting

Al Jazeera  

Hassan Rouhani’s 2017 visit was the last time an Iranian president had met his Russian counterpart at the Kremlin. “Boosting bilateral cooperation between Iran and Russia will lead to the development of the two countries’ economies and increased security across the region and the world,” the Iranian president said. “Today’s exceptional circumstances require significant synergy between our two countries against US unilateralism.” Raisi also said Iran has handed overdraft documents on a new 20-year cooperation agreement to the Russian side. Before heading for Moscow, Raisi had said the trip could mark a “turning point” in bilateral relations, adding that Iran and Russia can expand ties on political, economic, trade, security, and space matters. In a tweet on Wednesday from Moscow, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said the presidents agreed to draw a long-term cooperation roadmap, adding that “the future world revolves around multilateralism”.
