Putin, for his part, stated that the Iranian nuclear case came to a conclusion through logicand negotiations, adding that relations between Russia and Iran are developing.
Iran role crucial to Syria settlement
The Russian head of state also highlighted Irans constructive role in the fight against terrorism, particularly in Syria.
Without Irans engagement and participation in initiatives aimed at the resolution of the Syrian crisis, all such efforts will be in vain, the Russian president added.
On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov highlighted Irans role in resolving the ongoing conflict in Syria, saying that the settlement of the crisis gripping the Arab country has no prospect without the Islamic Republics participation.
Two conferences were previously held in an attempt to resolve the Syrian crisis in the Swiss city of Geneva, one in 2012 and the other in 2014. However, both events ended in failure amid the absence of Iran, an important regional player.
Tehran has drawn up a four-point peace plan on the Syrian crisis, which calls for a national unity government, a ceasefire, fighting terrorism and constitutional reforms in the violence-torn Arab nation, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has claimed the lives of more than 250,000 people and left over one million injured, according to the United Nations.
