The development of an agreement on a comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Iran is at the final stage, and the document will be signed in the foreseeable future, Russian Ambassador to Iran Alexey Dedov told Sputnik.
"This is truly the most important fundamental document, which may determine Russian-Iranian interaction for the coming years, and perhaps decades. We are talking about a new interstate agreement, a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries," Dedov said.
He noted that "work is currently underway on the final development and finalization of this document." Although it is still difficult to set exact dates, Moscow expects that the agreement will be signed "in the foreseeable future," the diplomat said.
