A few days earlier to that meeting, Iranian and Russian officials in a meeting in Moscow examined the ways for boosting trade transactions between the two countries.

Former Iranian Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh and a group of senior managers of the Russian private companies in their meeting in the Russian capital discussed facilitating the export of Iranian goods to Russia.

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.
