Iran-Russia partnership deal primarily covers economic cooperation: Foreign Minister Araghchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement signed between Iran and Russia covers cooperation in all sectors, with a primary focus on economic matters.
“The nature of this treaty is primarily economic and it encompasses all economic areas such as trade and tourism, transportation and energy,” Araghchi said on Saturday.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement for long-term cooperation in Moscow on Friday.
The top Iranian diplomat noted that the document was crafted in alignment with the interests of both countries and to chart the path of cooperation between Iran and Russia with a bright horizon.
Araghchi expressed hope that Tehran and Moscow would move towards improving cooperation in the economic, political and cultural fields “with more facilitation and within a better framework” by the signing of the strategic deal.
He noted that the deal also touches on cultural, scientific, judicial, legal and communications cooperation and “covers almost all aspects of relations between the two countries.”
Iran and Russia have long shared a close partnership, particularly in military, nuclear, and defense technologies.
However, their evolving alliance goes far beyond these fields, reshaping regional geopolitics and creating a stronghold for the Global Majority—nations that seek a democratic world order where justice and sovereignty are prioritized
This partnership is an essential step in challenging the imperialist structures that dominate global politics.
Iran and Russia are both subject to illegal Western sanctions. They have over the past years deepened their cooperation in various sectors.
