TEHRAN, Jun. 23 – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who is in Moscow, says he will be meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss “common threats.”
Minister Araghchi told IRNA’s correspondent on Sunday night, shortly after arriving in the Russian capital, that he would be meeting with President Putin on Monday.
“We and Russia always have common concerns and common enemies, and we always consult about coping with those common challenges and threats, and that is what we will be doing with the Russian president on Monday,” the minister said.
He said Iran and Russia will strive to bring their positions closer to one another “under these new and precarious circumstances.”
Foreign Minister Araghchi has been on a diplomatic campaign to rally the world against Israel since June 13, when the Israeli regime attacked Iran. Before traveling to Moscow, he was in Istanbul, Turkey, to participate in an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that was held to discuss the Israeli war of aggression on Iran.
