Iranian president invited to BRICS summit in Russia
Pezeshkian has already had an invitation from Moscow to the BRICS summit in Kazan, Kremlin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov told Izvestia newspaper.
Peskov added that Russian President Vladimir Putin is eager to meet with Iran’s new chief executive.
“We hope that the new Iranian president will come to this summit because we will be happy to see him, and Putin is preparing to meet Pezeshkian at the BRICS summit,” Peskov said.
Back on July 8, Putin congratulated Pezeshkian on his election victory. During a subsequent phone call, the two leaders expressed their readiness to sign a strategic cooperation agreement between Tehran and Moscow on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit.
The BRICS summit at the level of heads of state will be held on October 22-24. Iran became an official member of BRICS on January 1, 2024.
