Senior Diplomat Underlines Enhanced All-Out Ties between Iran, Russia

"The level of interactions between the two countries in all the political, security, regional, international, defense, scientific, academic and cultural arenas have enhanced and different structures and dialogues have been launched to this end," Sanayee wrote on his Instagram page on Sunday.

He added that Tehran's exports to Moscow multiplied within a few years, noting that implementation of several macro-scale projects in the nuclear, oil and railway fields have been launched by Russia in Iran.

"The economic relations between the two countries enjoy many intact capacities similar to contacts between the two states' people and I hope that as grounds have been paved and Iran has joined the Eurasian Economic Union, the trade and economic sectors of both countries will be able to use these capacities," Sanayee said.

In a relevant development in late June, Sanayee stressed the high importance of cooperation between Tehran and Moscow in international arrangements and developments.

"Cooperation between Iran and Russia is effective in the new regional and international arrangements and the new global order will be influenced by the two countries' cooperation," Sanayee said in Russia, addressing the 3rd round of specialized talks between Iran and Russia.

"I believe that the 'East' policy will be strengthened in the world and international developments will move ahead in a way that importance of cooperation between Iran and Russia will increase," he added.

Also, in January, Sanayee said that Tehran-Moscow ties became stronger and bilateral relations increased after the two countries saw common interests in regional and international developments.

He described the development of Iran-Russia political and security relations after signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as unparalleled, adding that the bilateral ties have yet to use all the potentials to further develop.

Sanayee first addressed the latest status of relations between Iran and Russia in political, economic and cultural fields, saying relations between the two countries have undergone a major transformation as a result of the growth of mutual needs and regional conditions.

According to Sanayee, since the signing of the 2015 nuclear deal also known as the JCPOA, economic relations between Iran and Russia have multiplied, but the developing relations have yet to reach the desired levels using potentials.

The Iranian diplomat also hailed Iran's cultural activities in Russia. Meanwhile, he described the development of Iran-Russia political, security relations as unparalleled.

The two countries' common approaches and perspectives towards global trends and shared regional interests, specially in relation to the Middle East developments, were the most important force behind the development of political relations between the two countries, according to the Iranian ambassador.
