He noted that the purpose of the meeting is to outline steps to avoid confrontation and aggravation of the situation in the UN Security Council.

“We also propose during the meeting of the leaders to agree on the parameters of joint work in order to facilitate the formation of reliable mechanisms for ensuring security and confidence-building in the Persian Gulf zone,” Putin said.
