Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi is going to make an official visit to Russia in days ahead. He will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
President Putin was the first head of country who congratulated Raisi on his presidency both through letter and on phone, Javad Karimi Qoddusi told IRNA on Monday.
He said that the developments in Iran leading to the Islamic Revolution and the developments in Russia in recent decades have led to establishment of new relations between Tehran and Moscow, which have further deepened in the last decade.
However, the MP said that as Raisi has emphasized the balance in foreign policy, Iran shouldn’t link its interests in entirety to its relations with Russia and China.
He also said that Raisi’s trip which is taking place at President Putin’s invitation is being made in a good condition since the two have enjoyed good cooperation with each other in international and regional arenas in security, defense, military, economic, and political levels.
Previous administrations in Iran tried to evade and circumvent US sanctions, Qoddusi noted, adding that the Raisi administration’s strategy is to neutralize sanctions, which is being realized through good communications with neighboring countries.
