We’ve gained much experience in ‘joint’ fight against terrorism: Putin Monitoring Desk Wednesday - March 29, 2017 MOSCOW (Russia): In a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday held, “We have accumulated considerable experience in the joint fight against terrorism and the drug threat” adding “Our ultimate goal is to strengthen peace and stability in the region” asserting “The development of our relations is not directed against other countries.” According to an official statement, the meeting agenda included discussions of prospects for deepening trade, economic and investment cooperation, including under large joint projects in energy and transport infrastructure, as well as current international and regional issues. “The last time we met was in Baku last summer. I am glad to have this opportunity to welcome you to the Russian capital. Russia and Iran have maintained cooperation for many years, if not centuries,” Putin said. He held, “We established diplomatic relations over 500 years ago. Iran is a good neighbour and a reliable and stable partner for Russia. We have been cooperating successfully in nearly all areas, including on the international stage to address acute international problems, as well as in the economy. We attained substantial results in all these areas in the past few years.” Russian President said, “Suffice it to say that last year our trade grew 70 percent, which is a unique achievement amid the current economic difficulties. These results have been largely achieved thanks to your contribution and efforts of your Government.” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, “I am happy to be the guest of the Russian Government and people and your personal guest. It is our first foreign visit this year, and we are glad that we have come to Russia because this is evidence of the further development of our close ties.” Rouhani added, “Relations between our countries have been developing consistently over the past three and a half years. This is not our first meeting, and when I look at the achievements we attained after each of our meetings, I see that we have achieved a great deal.” He asserted, “Our interaction has entered a new stage when we can speak about a new quality of our relations. I hope that new steps will be taken during this visit to promote our cooperation still more.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
