Arakchi said the message addressed key international and regional developments, as well as bilateral ties. He emphasized Iran’s close coordination with Russia on nuclear issues and noted that Middle East tensions, Israeli actions, and the war in Ukraine would be key topics. Arakchi also highlighted a new strategic cooperation agreement, approved by Russia’s Duma, aimed at strengthening long-term Iran-Russia relations.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged 84 prisoners each, with the UAE mediating.
