A comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Tehran and Moscow will contribute to the expansion and deepening of bilateral relations, Kazem Jalali said.

Moscow and Tehran could break the record for bilateral trade this year thanks to a new partnership agreement, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali told Sputnik.
