He said: “In a few months and in the form of various working groups, discussions concerning banking, energy, transportation, health, economy, etc. have been followed up with relevant ministries and agencies at the [Iranian] Ministry of Petroleum. Simultaneously with these meetings, Russian officials and authorities traveled to Iran for further communication with Iranian officials, and the Iranian Embassy in Russia has provided great assistance to the Ministry of Petroleum.”

Emphasizing that all the agreements reached and discussed in the 16th Joint Economic Commission of Iran and Russia are actually the main topics agreed upon by the presidents of the two countries, he said: "At no time in history have relations between Iran and Russia been this close.
