Russia announced Sunday that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin will meet Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran on Monday.
The announcement came as Russia 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.
“Discussions will cover the full scope of Russian-Iranian cooperation across trade, economics, culture, and humanitarian efforts,” the statement noted.
The talks will focus on “large joint projects in transport, energy, industry, and agriculture.”
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.
