Moscow and Tehran have developed strong ties over the past years and as a result have boosted their respective economies, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his Iranian counterpart, Ebrahim Raisi. The iranian president arrived in Moscow on a sate visit on Thursday.
The two leaders discussed both bilateral ties and wider global challenges, including the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Russia and Iran had built “good momentum” over the past year, Putin told Raisi, pointing to cooperation in energy and education. The states are also investing in Iranian railroads, which are destined to become a part of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
