President Rouhani, heading a high-ranking politico-economic delegation, visited Moscow late March for a two-day visit upon an invitation by his Russian counterpart to hold talks on bilateral ties and sign a total of 15 cooperation pacts.

Iranian and Russian officials had already examined the ways for boosting trade transactions between the two countries ahead of Rouhani’s visit.

The Russian managers voiced their willingness to increase the volume of their imports of the Iranian goods.

Nematzadeh also met Russia's energy managers and the country’s bus factories.

During the meetings, the two sides examined ways to promote industrial and energy ties.
