Vyacheslav Volodin will visit Tehran

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin will soon visit Tehran, head of the Public Relations Department of the Parliament of the Islamic Republic Mahmoud Sadekiyan said, without giving an exact date.

"There is a program for the upcoming visit of the speaker of the Russian parliament Vyacheslav Volodin to Iran in the near future, but the exact date has not yet been determined", - RIA Novosti quotes Sadekiyan. Earlier it was assumed that Volodin would visit Iran in January 2023, where he would hold a meeting with the President of the Republic Ibrahim Raisi.

In mid-December, Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov signed a cooperation program until 2025 with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Jafar Montazeri. It was decided to create a working group on countering crimes. In early December, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali announced that the two countries intend to sign a long-term comprehensive cooperation agreement in the near future.
