Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian arrived in Moscow this morning to meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and sign a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement, which will include defense cooperation.
The Iranian president's plane landed at Moscow's Vnukovo-2 airport, reserved for the authorities, at 10.17:07.17 a.m. (XNUMX:XNUMX GMT).
Today, Pezeshkian will hold talks with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and will be received by Putin in the Kremlin, where the two leaders will sign the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said this week that Moscow attaches “great importance” to the signing of the agreement during Pezeshkian’s first visit to the country.
Pezeshkian and the Russian president had met twice in recent months, the last time in October in Kazan during the BRICS summit, to prepare the document.
Relations between Russia and Iran have strengthened in recent years, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine, where Moscow has the support of Tehran, which has reportedly supplied drones and even missiles to the Russian side, according to the West. EFE
