This was stated by Putin and Pezeshkian during a bilateral meeting
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. The main topics of discussion were the expansion of trade and economic cooperation and the strengthening of humanitarian ties. This is reported by IRNA, a partner of TV BRICS.
As Putin noted, trade turnover between Russia and Iran continues to grow steadily. At the end of 2024, it increased by 13 per cent, and in the first half of 2025, it added another 11.4 per cent. The president sees the previously signed agreements as playing an important role in the further development of economic partnership.
Pezeshkian, for his part, confirmed Tehran's commitment to implementing all previously reached agreements. The Iranian leader also stressed that the new intergovernmental agreement has already been ratified by the Iranian parliament.
Special attention was paid at the meeting to the development of the humanitarian sphere. As Putin noted, the number of Iranian students in Russia has tripled in five years and exceeded 9,000 people. In June this year, a festival of Russian culture was also successfully held in Tehran and Isfahan.
The SCO summit, which began on 31 August in Tianjin, brought together the leaders of more than 20 countries in one place.
