MOSCOW — Russia's Foreign Ministry confirmed on July 24 that it welcomed a proposal for talks by Iran's acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri. The move is seen by observers as a step forward in bilateral relations, which have been under pressure from regional and international issues.
According to sources from the Russian Foreign Ministry, Moscow appreciated Iran's constructive spirit and expressed readiness to participate in talks to promote bilateral cooperation and resolve existing differences. Bagheri's initiative is aimed at strengthening diplomatic exchanges between the two sides, especially amid the volatile situation in the Middle East.
Analysts suggest that Moscow's welcoming of Tehran's proposal indicates Russia still considers Iran a key strategic partner in the region. However, observers also note that differences over issues such as Iran's nuclear program and energy cooperation still need to be resolved through concrete negotiations.
The Russian representative affirmed Moscow's support for all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and promote stability in the Middle East. No details have yet been released on the timing and location of the proposed talks.
