Tehran expects the Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay a return visit to Iran, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said in an interview for Sputnik.

"We are ready to receive ... Putin in Tehran at an appropriate time. We are also interested in holding a summit of the Astana format countries' leaders in Tehran," Jalali said.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi arrived in Moscow for a two-day visit on January 19, which marked a turning point in relations between the two countries, the diplomat added.

Iranian, Russian firms may set up joint plant to make energy sector equipment

Iranian and Russian companies may team up to establish a joint plant for the production of equipment for the oil and gas sector and further export it, Jalali said in his interview for Sputnik.

"We can use the potential and capabilities of Russian companies in [oil] production, development of oil fields, equipment manufacturing and technology transfer. In addition, by establishing a joint plant in Iran and producing equipment in excess of the equipment used in Iran, companies of the two countries can export it," Jalali said.

In a related context, in an interview for RIA Novosti, the Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali described military cooperation as a component of Iran-Russia relations.

According to him, relations between Moscow and Tehran span all aspects of politics and economics, as well as others.

“Military and defense cooperation, which is also part of the relationship, is not limited only to the purchase of relevant equipment,” the envoy specified.

His words came amid news that Russia's Deputy Prime Minister and director of the Iran-Russia Joint Economic Commission, Alexander Novak, would be visiting Tehran soon.
