Ebrahim Raisi: I hope the results of the Caucasian cooperation meeting will lead to strengthening security and peace in the region

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi at a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that “all nations and free-thinking people of the world hope that, in view of its position and effective presence in the Security Council and on the international level, Russia will be able to prevent the Americans from achieving their goal.”

At the meeting with Lavrov, who arrived in Tehran to participate in the meeting of the “Caucasian Cooperation Group”, Raisi expressed hope that the results of the meeting in Tehran will lead to strengthening security, stability and peace in the region and resolving problems between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The Russian Foreign Minister emphasized Moscow’s commitment to the implementation of all of the country’s agreements with Iran in economic, commercial, transport, energy, and cultural fields, and noted that his participation in the meeting of the 3+3 regional platform was a manifestation of growing regional cooperation between Iran and Russia.

According to Lavrov, further expansion of cooperation among regional countries would help them meet their interests and, at the same time, pursue their development goals.

He stressed that regional problems must be resolved without any interference from foreign parties.
