A foreign ministers' meeting between Russia and Iran, both of which are subject to economic sanctions, has been held, and the two countries have clarified their stance against Europe and the United States by deepening economic cooperation such as expanding trade and cooperation in the energy field. ..
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who was visiting Iran, met with Foreign Minister Abdrahian in the capital Tehran on the 23rd.
In this context, the two countries agreed to deepen economic cooperation such as expanding trade and cooperation in the fields of finance, agriculture, and energy.
At a joint press conference, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, "Illegal sanctions by the United States and its allies are trying to prevent development and exchange between the two countries. In the midst of this discriminatory behavior, the amount of trade between the two countries has increased last year. I will do my best to keep the trend going. "
Foreign Minister Abdullahian said, "We oppose unjustified sanctions on Russia. We have important agreements to invalidate the sanctions and we must implement them," he said in opposition to the sanctions with Russia. I showed my thoughts.
Russia's military invasion of Ukraine has strengthened sanctions from Europe and the United States, while Iran's trade with other countries has stagnated as the former Trump administration of the United States, which has withdrawn from the nuclear agreement, resumed sanctions. ..
Both countries want to activate transactions in a way that avoids sanctions, and have made a clear stance against Europe and the United States.
