Russia's President Vladimir Putin met Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Tehran in 2015.
Against the backdrop of a tripartite meeting between Iran, Turkey, and Russia in Tehran, the Russian ambassador to Tehran announced Wednesday that there will be a scheduled meeting between Iranian Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ambassador Levan Dzhagaryan told Rossiya 24, "As we expect, Putin will be on a visit to Iran on July 19 and will take part in a tripartite summit with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and will also hold bilateral meetings," noting that this would be Putin's fourth visit to Iran.
Putin to visit Iran for tripartite talks
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Tuesday Putin's visit to Tehran on the 19th of July, 2022.
The Kremlin’s statement came after Chief of Economic Commission of Iran’s Parliament Mohammadreza Pour-Ebrahimi said, as quoted by Iran's state news agency IRNA, that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Tehran next week.
Pour-Ebrahimi added that a positive atmosphere has been formed for the mutual cooperation between the two countries, most notably following the recent trip by Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to Russia.
"Very favorable agreements were signed during that trip, President Raisi marked a new chapter of economic relations between Iran and Russia and assured the Russians that the government of the Islamic Republic is serious about economic cooperation with Russia,” he said.
The top Iranian diplomat highlighted that the US and European embargo on Russia made Moscow increase economic cooperation with Tehran.
