TEHRAN, December 23. /TASS/. The purpose of the Russian delegation's visit to Tehran is to resolve transport and logistics issues with Iran, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev told reporters.

"Iran is a strategic partner for us. Of course, we have many common issues that we are going to discuss: maritime transport, automobile, rail transport, air links. Therefore, we expect from the visit that these negotiations will allow us on both sides to take the next step in our development," he said.

"In my opinion, the issues that we will have to discuss at the highest level are of interest to both countries. The development of transport and logistics corridors is a top priority. We will continue to resolve these issues that were signed in 2023 - [within the framework of] the intergovernmental agreement," Savelyev added.
