TEHRAN (ecoideal)- Iranian Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanayee underlined that Tehran is resolved to expand bilateral relations with Moscow.

In relevant remarks in mid-June, senior Russian officials in a meeting with their Iranian counterparts in Moscow studied investment opportunities in Iran.
"Some 70 industrialists, entrepreneurs and businessmen from Russia and Iran in a joint meeting in Moscow reviewed the future of investment in Iran," Iranian Commercial Attaché to Moscow Davoud Morzakhani said.
He said that after the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), economic cooperation between Iran and Russia is growing in various fields.
"Many issues have been resolved in the period such as expansion of banking cooperation between the two countries, normalization of economic and banking cooperation, and promotion of economic infrastructure such as signing legal and basic documents, customs office formalities as well as transportations over past four year," he added.
The two sides also studied venues to reach free trade agreements between Tehran and Eurasia and also help finalize North-South transit route as well as expansion of trilateral relations between Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan.
In relevant remarks in early June, Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Hossein Zamaninia said that several Russian companies have voiced willingness to take part in the development of nine oil and gas fields of Iran.
“At least nine Russian companies have voiced willingness to help Iran develop its oil and gas fields,” Zamaninia said.
In a forum in St. Petersburg, Iran and Russia signed a roadmap for cooperation in the energy sector which aims at creating preferential terms for joint venture projects between the two countries.
“One major issue discussed at the Forum pertained to impacts of energy sector on the environment and the balance between the two,” Zamaninia said, adding, “A new issue discussed at SPIEF 2017 was the role played by oil and gas, as fossil energies, after the year 2050."
