Energy cooperation with Moscow to continue: Owji
Owji noted that during the late president Ebrahim Raisi’s tenure, a good foundation was made in bilateral relations between Iran and Russia, Mehr News Agency reported.
He pointed to several phone calls between President of Russia Vladimir Putin and Acting President of Iran Mohammad Mokhbar, stressing that there is no doubt that the relations between Tehran and Moscow will strongly move forward.
Congratulating Russia Day, Owji expressed his satisfaction with the process of development of bilateral relations through the implementation of the agreements reached in the Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation between the two countries.
Referring to the launch of a direct flight between Tehran and Grozny, the center of Russia’s Chechnya Republic, he expressed hope that the cooperation will continue to strengthen the relations between the two countries along with the improvement of the level of relations.
Novak, for his part, emphasized Moscow’s resolve to continue cooperation with Iran and to speed up the implementation of the agreements between the two countries.
He said that Russia is determined to continue the same path that was laid at the will of the Russian president and his late counterpart.
Novak added that Moscow and Tehran have close relations in all fields and this cooperation will be strengthened day by day.
Accelerating the process of completing the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), including the construction of the Rasht-Astara railway, for which the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in 2023, was one of the topics discussed in the meeting.
Owji also held talks with Igor Levitin, a senior aide to Putin, and Sergei Tsivilev, Russia’s Minister of Energy, during his visit to Moscow on Friday.
