TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani attended Eurasia parliamentary meeting that started work in Moscow on Tuesday.

Putin in his message said the presence of the participating parliament speakers can pave the way for reaching agreements between regional nations to develop the region.

As Putin said, the Eurasia meeting today can be fruitful for measures taken to fight terrorism and to ensure regional security.

Trade routes, regional risks such as rising terrorism, climate change, gender equality, energy and economic ties are among the core issues being discussed at the meeting this year.

Speakers from 19 countries are expected to attend the meeting that will discuss the state and prospects of further expansion of parliamentary cooperation between the Eurasian countries.
