Russian President Putin and his Iranian counterpart Pezeshkian have agreed to strengthen bilateral ties. The pair spoke on Friday at an international forum in Turkmenistan's capital Ashgabat. It was their first in-person meeting since Pezeshkian took office.
Putin said Russia and Iran have worked together in the international arena and that their assessments of current events are often very similar. Pezeshkian said they should continue to strengthen ties and support each other.
He also noted that their positions in the world are very close. The two leaders confirmed that they will hold talks again at a summit of the BRICS emerging economies starting on October 22 in the central Russian city of Kazan.
