Meeting Iranian president, Putin says countries in constant contact over nuclear program

Russia and Iran are constantly in contact over various aspects of the international agenda, including issues related to Iran’s nuclear program, Russian President Vladimir Putin says.

Putin meets with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in China.

Earlier, the SCO warned against reinterpretation of a United Nations resolution endorsing a 2015 Iran nuclear deal, after European powers triggered a mechanism to reimpose UN sanctions on Tehran.

The SCO member states reaffirmed the “binding nature” of the resolution, saying “any attempts to misinterpret or arbitrarily reinterpret this resolution will undermine the authority of the Security Council,” according to the final declaration of their summit in Tianjin.
