Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the Iranian leadership for their role in getting off the ice talks on Tehran’s nuclear program.
“I am convinced that this has occurred in large measure thanks to the efforts of the Iranian leadership,” Mr. Putin said opening a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in the Kremlin on Thursday.
“It is important that the agreements reached do not remain on paper only and that we move forward,” Mr. Putin said.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Putin said relations between the two countries were poised to “scale new heights.”
“The potential for bilateral cooperation is great and is far from having been exhausted,” the Russian leader said after accepting credentials from Iran’s new envoy to Russia on Thursday.
