Tehran-Moscow long-term deal a game changer
On January 17, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will set out on a groundbreaking visit to Moscow, the Russian capital, to ink the “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty” with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. The treaty, a revamped version of a pact put together 24 years ago, aims to turn the tide on the bilateral relationship. Back in 2001, a decade-long contract laid the groundwork for Iran-Russia ties, which has since been extended twice for five-year periods.
The upcoming Iran-Russia comprehensive treaty, encompassing over 30 key areas, is a long-term commitment rooted in the principles of the UN Charter, bilateral rights and a balanced approach to obligations and territorial integrity. The treaty takes in crucial aspects such as politics, economy, transportation, transit corridors, finance, investments, energy, agriculture and food security.
