The information was shared by Mr. Ali Akbar Ahmadian - Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran during a meeting with Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu.
Another issue that we need to improve is the agreement on gas supply. This agreement has been prepared. The only remaining issue is price and this is one of the issues that needs to continue to be considered" - the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran shared.
Iranian officials also said that Russia and Iran have ratified a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between the two countries.
The preparation of this treaty is the result of comprehensive efforts between the two countries, Mr. Ali Akbar Ahmadian emphasized.
In April this year, Russian and Iranian officials confirmed that the two sides had reached a preliminary agreement on Moscow supplying 55 billion cubic meters of Russian gas per year to Tehran and funding the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Iranian territory.
The deal is assessed to be equivalent to the amount of gas Russia exported via the Nord Stream pipeline to Europe before the system was damaged in 2022.
Along with the gas commitment, Iran is also expected to sign a $4 billion contract with Russian companies to develop seven domestic oil fields.
Another notable point in this cooperation is the plan to establish a regional gas distribution center in Iran, with the potential participation of Qatar and Turkmenistan.
