Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi hailed the strategic ties between Tehran and Moscow and called for bolstering economic cooperation between the two nations.

The president's remarks came during a ceremony in which he received the credentials of the new Russian ambassador to Iran Alexey Dedov.

“Iran and Russia have suitable grounds for cooperation in bilateral, regional, and international fields,” the president said.

Raisi also stressed the need to increase the “strategic economic cooperation” between both countries.

The new Russian ambassador to Iran said that one of his main priorities during his mission is to promote stronger economic cooperation with Tehran.

Dedov added that the strategic economic relations between Tehran and Moscow have obstructed sanctions imposed by the West.

"The strategic economic cooperation between Iran and Russia has caused Western countries to despair of the sanctions policy," he said.

Earlier in September at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that ties between Russia and Iran are progressing in all directions and that work on a significant new cooperation agreement that would raise relations to a new level is nearly finished.

On the sidelines of the summit, Putin spoke to his Iranian counterpart President Ebrahim Raisi and announced that "work on a new, major agreement between Russia and Iran is in its final stage. [This treaty] will mark the transition of relations between our countries to a strategic level."

On his part, Raisi noted that relations between the two countries carry a “strategic importance” and that the two have moreover managed to counterweight Western sanctions.

Raisi argued that "we are serious about the development of bilateral relations. Our relations are not ordinary, they are of a strategic nature. Cooperation can continue to develop in the political, trade and economic, as well as the space and aerospace sectors.”

"We do not recognize sanctions against Russia and will not officially recognize them, we intend to develop trade and economic ties. Interaction between countries against which the United States has imposed sanctions, such as Russia and Iran, can neutralize a significant part of the problems. A significant part of those restrictions or US threats against Iran and Russia will be neutralized," Raisi said.
