Russia, Iran ready to advance cooperation to new level fit with global trends - Lavrov

Moscow, July 21 (Sputnik) - Moscow and Tehran are ready to review, and if necessary renew, a joint treaty on cooperation in light of the current global developments, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
"Of course, the treaty is a very important document in our bilateral relations, and it is called 'Treaty on the Basic Principles of Cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran.' It assumes the key areas of our cooperation, and it contains a provision for an automatic extension next year for another five years," Lavrov said during a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif, in Moscow.
According to the top Russian diplomat, the treaty, which was signed in 2001 by Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Iranian leader Mohammad Khatami, may now seem outdated.
