The best response to sanctions imposed by unfriendly countries against Russia and Iran would be to expand cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said Thursday at a meeting with Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber.
"Russia and Iran are linked by friendly, good-neighborly, partnership relations, and we intend to strengthen our cooperation in all directions, regardless of the external conditions. I am referring to the illegal economic sanctions imposed by unfriendly states against both Russia and Iran," Mishustin said.
"I am convinced that the best response to sanctions pressure is to expand Russian-Iranian cooperation, and the joint measures we are taking are already yielding positive results in the scientific and technological field as well," he added.
