His statement was published on the Kremlin website.
Putin recalled that in 2019 Russia presented an updated Security Concept in the Persian Gulf zone, where it outlined specific ways to solve the region's problems.
“In this region, as in any other part of the world, there should be no place for blackmail and dictatorship on the part of anyone. Unilateral approaches do not help finding solutions, ”the Russian leader stressed.
He also proposed to convene an online summit of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council with the participation of the leaders of Germany and Iran in the near future to discuss the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear deal.
