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."
