At the end of the third summit of Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), Iran’s Hassan Rouhani met and talked with the Rusian President Vladimir Putin before attending a press conference during which the two sides expressed their positions with regard to the regional issues.
Rouhani deemed the nuclear issue as one of the common grounds between the two countries adding “for many years, Iran and Russia have had good relations in the field of nuclear energy and today these relations will develop.”
“We have also decided to expand the already-existing cooperation on regional issues,” Rouhani noted.
The Iranian President stressed that terrorism is a threat to the region and the world; “some countries merely talk about terrorism in words while Iran and Russia have shown their serious determination to fight against terrorism in practice proving that actions speak louder than words,” he underlined.
“The available opportunities will certainly provide the basis for further collaboration in line with taking more serious steps to benefit the two nations as well as the region,” maintained Rouhani.
At the end of his remarks, President Rouhani expressed gratitude to Vladimir Putin and his accompanying delegation for travelling to Iran.
