"Yesterday, you know, I was there in the neighboring region. And I flew directly over the territory of your country and wanted to land and meet right in Tehran, but I was told that the president was already planning to fly to Moscow," Putin said at the meeting.

Putin:

When I was flying over Iran, I wanted to land in Tehran and to meet you.

But I was informed that you wanted to visit Moscow. Relations between our countries are growing rapidly.

He also said that Russia is engaged in extensive collaboration with Iran across various sectors, notably in the energy domain.

"We have large infrastructure projects, we have been discussing for a long time, and now we have come to the practical implementation of the construction of the North–South railway. We work naturally, traditionally, in the field of energy. In the field of education, we have a significant number of Iranian students studying here. In general, work is quite active in almost all areas," Putin said.
