The Russian-Iranian summit took place in Moscow today, Wednesday, where Russian President Vladimir Putin received his Iranian counterpart, Ebrahim Raisi. 

Raisi, at the beginning of the meeting, made it clear that there will be no limits to "expanding and developing relations with friendly Russia," noting that "relations with Russia will develop into strategic ones." 

He said, "In light of the policy of the United States and the West, our relations must be stronger," adding, "We have been confronting the United States with Russia for 40 years."

The Iranian president hopes that Iran's efforts to lift the sanctions off Iran will succeed. 

"We have presented to our Russian friends a draft of our vision on the strategic agreement between both countries," he said, explaining that Iran has documents on strategic cooperation that can determine the horizon of this cooperation over a 20-year period." 

Raisi said that trade and economic relations at the present time are not satisfactory and that Iran and Russia are making efforts so that cooperation in multiple fields would improve. He expressed his hope to "sign several agreements during our visit," which will improve cooperation, as Iran seeks to raise the level of diplomatic cooperation with its neighbors. 

Raisi and Putin praised bilateral cooperation in Syria; Raisi contended that such a good example should spill into other files on the table. He said, "We have a very good experience of cooperation with Russia in Syria, and this is cooperation in the fight against terrorism in the region, in the Syrian Arab Republic. Raisi added "Such a very good experience can create the preconditions for us to apply this experience in many other areas."
