Tehran, IRNA – Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali-Akbar Ahmadian has underlined the need for Russia to accelerate the construction of a strategically important International North South Transit Corridor (INSTC).

In a meeting in Tehran on Tuesday with Igor Levitin, an aide to the President of the Russian Federation, Ahmadian also stressed the importance of giving a boost to other agreements signed between Tehran and Moscow, including those on the oil and gas cooperation.
