The reduced US dollar influence in regional and economic transactions would decrease the Western dominance over the global economy, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated. 

During a meeting with the visiting Russian President's Special Aide Igor Levitin, Ali Shamkhani made the remarks in Tehran on Sunday. He mentioned that the reducing influence of the US dollar in regional and international economic transactions will disappear with the Western dominance on the world economy.

They also discussed the implementation of agreements signed by the senior officials of the two countries in various economic and banking fields, specially expediting the construction operation of the North-South Corridor.
