KABUL (Pajhwok): Russian president Vladimir Putin has invited his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian to pay an official visit to Moscow, a media report said on Saturday.
Putin extended the invitation to his Iranian counterpart at a regional summit in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan on Friday, Reuters reported.
It said both sides welcomed the growth of economic relations between their countries and similar views on international affairs.
“Putin, whose country is hosting a summit of the BRICS nations in Kazan on October 22 to 24, invited Pezeshkian to come to Russia on an official visit, a proposal the Iranian leader accepted,” the report added.
“Economically and culturally, our communications are being strengthened day by day and becoming more robust,” Pezeshkian was cited as telling Putin.
“The growing trend of cooperation between Iran and Russia, considering the will of the top leaders of both countries, must be accelerated to strengthen these ties,” he explained.
