Moscow, Jan 24,

IRNA
Iran-Russia-Ties Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia and Pacific Affairs Mehdi Safari in a meeting here Monday with his Russian counterpart Alexander Alexiev explored the latest developments on bilateral relations, regional issues as well as cooperation on global trends.
The two sides stressed on economic relations and cooperation in transportation sector and other areas with potentials.
It was also decided to hold the joint economic commissions session or upgrading mutual trade and investments.
Alexiev also said Moscow is determined for implementing its obligations on Bushehr nuclear powerplant.
The Russian official said the powerplant operation will be carried out according to set schedule, adding "I think we are approaching the timeline," he added.
Safari said that Iran and other nations have the right to acquire peaceful nuclear technology as has been enshrined in the Non-Proliferation-Treaty.
"Tehran will continue its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and will answer outstanding questions." However, politicizing the issue on the part of some nations has created problems, Safari added.
The Russian officials expressed hope that the issue will be resolved within the framework of IAEA guidelines and without referral to the UN Security Council.
Safari and Alexiev also discussed Central Asia, Caucasus and Caspian Sea.
Safari arrived in Moscow Monday for talks with Russian foreign minister and his deputy. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in a meeting with Safari, called upon Iran to resume nuclear talks.
He said that Russian officials continue to hope that Iran will act in a manner conducive to resolving the dispute on its nuclear programs and resume negotiations. *
In the latest development on bilateral cooperation, a Russian official said here last week that Iran's nuclear dossier will not prevent the continuation of Iran-Russia military cooperation.
Head of Russian Military Forecasting Center Anatoli Tesiganouk told the news agency Ria-Novatsi that the cooperation may take the form of delivery of defensive weapons as long as they do not contravene international agreements and conventions on exports of military armaments.
Iran has entered into a contract to purchase 29 TOR M1 mobile surface-to-air missile defence systems from Russia worth more than USD 700 million (EUR 600 million).
