Russia and Iran Forge New Agreement to Shape Bilateral Ties for Two Decades.

By Guest Reporter Zahidul I.

A strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran is set to establish a robust foundation for bilateral relations over the next 20 years, according to Iranian Ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali.

“This treaty will create a legal framework and strategic direction for relations between Iran and Russia, paving the way for collaboration in areas such as economy, trade, energy, monetary policies, banking, and investments,” Jalali stated. “It will serve as a roadmap for the future, driving the development of ties between the two nations.”

The ambassador emphasized that the agreement is expected to support additional executive deals and act as a cornerstone for strengthening cooperation.

Previously, the two nations operated under a 10-year treaty signed in 2001, which has been automatically renewed every five years.

On January 14, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that the strategic partnership agreement would be signed on January 17, following discussions between the presidents of both countries. “This agreement holds significant importance for Russia,” Peskov remarked.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi clarified that the treaty would not include the formation of any defensive alliance.
