"Following the cancellation of the arms embargo, this cooperation will be implemented and will grow in time," Ryabkov told reporters in Moscow.
Ryabkov also mentioned the prospects of close cooperation with Iran in the nuclear energy sector.
"As a result of potential nuclear deal with Iran, no similar precedents, which could affect the regime of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, should take place in the international system," Ryabkov stated.
The diplomat explained that the deal must not be used as a reference point in similar situations, as well as it should not lead to large-scale inspections and monitoring.
"The discussion has got to the point where literally everything that is necessary to find a common denominator has been put on the negotiating table," the Russian diplomat said said.
"The latest round, which was held last week, its depth and effectiveness, make us believe that chances to reach an agreement before the deadline are much higher than those of failure or delays," he said.
