President Vladimir Putin noted the necessity of further strengthening bilateral economic, political and military and technical contacts at a meeting with Secretary of the Iranian Supreme Council of National Security Hassan Rouhani.

Russian-Iranian cooperation will continue, but Iran should strictly keep to all the obligations it is taken on in non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Russia firmly believes that spread of nuclear weapons around the planet does not help security, or strengthen security not only in the region, but also in the world as a whole. “The recent actions on Iran’s part have convinced us that Iran truly does not intend to manufacture nuclear weapons, and this means that we will continue to cooperate in all spheres, including the sphere of nuclear energy,” said President Putin.
