Putin at a meeting with the chairman of the assembly of the Islamic Council of Iran, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf: “Iran is beginning full-fledged work within the framework of this association. And we are very happy about this. Together with you, we jointly organized Iran’s entry [into BRICS]. Relations between our countries are developing very successfully. Just recently, presidential elections were held in your country. I want to express hope and have no doubt that relations between Iran and the Russian Federation will develop as progressively as they did under Mr. Raisi, whose death we all regret and mourn.” Source: Russian Head
