【Putin: Russia and Iran Maintain Vibrant Trade and Economic Relations】

On September 1, 2026, in Bishkek time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the SCO Summit:

Despite the severe military and political situation, we continue to maintain the momentum of development seen last year in our trade and economic relations — largely due to the effective work of the intergovernmental committee between Russia and Iran, which operates regularly and recently held its most recent session.

Putin added:

We welcome the ceasefire memorandum signed by Iran and the United States in June this year. Unfortunately, however, the ceasefire agreement has proven unstable and too fragile.

Putin emphasized:

Please extend our greetings to Iran's Supreme Leader, Moein al-Hamenei, Mr. President.
