Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian will attend the upcoming BRICS summit in Russia, state media cites Tehran’s ambassador in Moscow as saying, amid tensions with the West over military cooperation between the two countries.
Iran’s ambassador in Russia Kazem Jalali confirms that Pezeshkian will attend the summit of the BRICS group of major emerging economies, scheduled to be held in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, according to Iran’s state media.
Pezeshkian will meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin there, Jalali said.
Iran and Russia are set to sign a bilateral comprehensive cooperation agreement.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that Russia had received ballistic missiles from Iran and was likely to use them in Ukraine within weeks. Cooperation between Moscow and Tehran threatened wider European security, he said.
Iran denies supplying missiles to Russia.
