07:11; 14 January 2025 year

On January 17, the presidents of Russia and Iran will sign a new bilateral agreement in Moscow. According to Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali, the text of the agreement contains 47 articles and covers all areas of cooperation.

By signing the agreement, Moscow and Tehran will declare each other strategic partners. Although the criteria for such a partnership are not fixed in Russian official documents, the new agreement will establish a qualitatively higher level of bilateral relations than in 2001, when our countries concluded a basic agreement for the first time after the Islamic Revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union href="https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/international_contracts/international_contracts/2_contract/46488/"&The agreement is explained by a researcher and lecturer at MGIMO, an Iranian scholar Adlan Margoev.

According to him, over the past two decades, Russia and Iran have come a long way before reaching common views on many international and regional issues, from combating drug trafficking in Central Asia and extremism in the Middle East to promoting multilateral cooperation within international organizations, such as the SCO and BRICS.

The main guideline for the next stage of Russian-Iranian relations is broad trade and economic cooperation. The future of bilateral relations depends on how many Russian companies enter the Iranian market and Iranian companies enter Russia, how much trade turnover will grow due to export-import transactions, and what kind of relations will develop between representatives of public organizations. Until the network of mutually beneficial ties reaches the widest possible segments of the population, the efforts of the authorities will not find a solid, long-term foundation, the expert concluded.
