TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanaei in a meeting with Scientific Adviser to Russian President Andrei Fursenko discussed ways to boost mutual cooperation between Tehran and Moscow in the fields of science and technology.





At the meeting held in Moscow, the two sides explored avenues for the closer cooperation in science, and technology and underlined the necessity for activating working groups for the technological cooperation between the two sides.

The third meeting of the committee for scientific and technological cooperation between Iran and Russia is scheduled to be held in Moscow in April with Sorena Sattari, Iranian vice-president for science and technology in attendance.

Earlier this month, Ali Akbar Velayati, an international adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution had said that Iran and Russia share strategic interests, noting that cooperation between Tehran and Moscow will help a more even distribution of power on an international scale.

“Iran and Russia have very strategic relations and interests and also share views on regional and international issues,” Velayati said, in an address to the opening of a conference on Iran-Russia cooperation, held in Moscow.

The time of a single country having a grip on the global developments is now gone, Velayati underscored, noting that closer relations between Iran and Russia will contribute to a more balanced share of power in the world.
