The 18th meeting of the Joint Commission on Economic Cooperation between Iran and Russia is scheduled to take place in Moscow from April 23 to 25. The event aims to strengthen bilateral collaboration across a wide range of sectors.
The meeting will be co-chaired by Iran’s Oil Minister, Mohsen Paknejad, and Russia’s Minister of Energy, Sergei Tsivilev.
Expert delegations from both countries will participate in specialized working groups to explore opportunities for expanded cooperation. They will address current challenges and formulate a roadmap for future joint initiatives, which will be formalized in a memorandum of understanding.
The discussions are expected to encompass a broad range of sectors, including energy, trade and economy, finance and banking, transportation and logistics, customs, industry and mining, agriculture, healthcare, tourism, science, and technology.
This meeting follows the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Iran and Russia on January 17, 2025, and the subsequent ratification of a free trade agreement between Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union by Iran’s Parliament, which created a foundation for deepening bilateral ties.
Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the law ratifying the agreement on the comprehensive strategic partnership with Iran.
This agreement establishes a long-term legal framework for deepening cooperation between Moscow and Tehran. It formalizes their status as strategic partners and encompasses a wide range of sectors, including defense, counterterrorism, energy, finance, transport, industry, agriculture, science, culture, and technology.
The agreement was originally signed in January 2025 during the visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Moscow.
