MOSCOW, Russia
Russia announced Sunday that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin will meet Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran on Monday.
The announcement came as
Russia has condemned Israel's "political murder" of Iran-backed
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.
Mishustin will hold talks with
Pezeshkian and First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref, the government
statement said.
"It is planned to discuss
the full range of Russian-Iranian cooperation in the trade and economic and
cultural and humanitarian spheres," Russia said.
The talks will focus on
"carrying out large joint projects in fields involving transport energy,
industry and agriculture,” the statement added.
Western governments have
accused Iran of supplying both drones and missiles to Moscow for its war on
Ukraine, a charge Tehran has repeatedly denied.
Pezeshkian is set to hold
talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Russia next month
to attend the BRICS summit.
