KABUL: Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will meet on Friday on the sidelines of a summit of leaders of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Turkmenistan.
Iranian news agency Tasnim reported Tuesday night that Russia’s deputy president announced the meeting.
According to the report, the Iranian and Russian presidents will discuss bilateral relations and cooperation between Tehran and Moscow.
Relations between Russia and Iran have expanded in recent years, particularly amid growing disagreements between both countries and the West and the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
However, according to reports, Russia and Iran have provided assistance to each other during the war in Ukraine and amid Iran’s conflict with the United States.
