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.

The agreement was originally signed in January 2025 during the visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Moscow.
