ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) - Russia expects that the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries will promptly complete the ratification procedures to include Iran in the structure, President Vladimir Putin said on Monday.
"We are looking forward to the prompt implementation of the relevant ratification procedures by all member states," Putin said during an expanded meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council.

Recent years have seen a steady growth in Iran's global visibility and its inclusion in international multi-vector organization. This summer, the country joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a commercial and political bloc that includes three of the five BRICS members. Iran became a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in July, and joined the BRICS bloc in August this year.

The signing took place amid the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in St. Petersburg, Russia. The agreement was signed by the chairman of the board of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) Mikhail Myasnikovich, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk and Iranian Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Abbas Aliabadi. The deal was also signed by representatives of Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
