/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A lot of facts testify to Russia and Iran’s
willingness to enhance bilateral cooperation. Inter-parliamentary
committee’s upcoming plenary session is deemed as an extremely
important event, said Alexander Karpich, Deputy Head of Department
for Asia, Africa and Australia at RF Ministry of Economic Development.
Russian official anticipates a broad discussion and opinion exchange
between both parties’ government experts. "Our energy Minister
will meet not only with his counterpart but also with Iranian
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki who heads the Iranian part of
intergovernmental cooperation committee," he noted. "Issues to be
discussed during negotiations are already being outlined. Let me note
this practice is not something frequent and not common to all states,"
Russian official stressed.
"The upcoming discussion with our Iranian colleagues will cover a
broader range of issues, including nuclear energy," iran.ru quotes
Karpich as saying.
