Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Monday that Iran and Belarus have agreed on a roadmap for comprehensive cooperation that will define relations between the two countries in the future.
Raisi made the remarks at a joint press conference in Tehran with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko following delegation-level talks between the two sides.
Cooperation with Belarus “can be a way to overcome sanctions,” Raisi said while expressing Tehran’s readiness to develop “regional and transregional relations” with Minsk.
He said that 30 years have passed since the two countries established relations and that it is their will to “develop relations in all fields,” and he hopes Lukashenko’s two-day visit to Iran will be a “big step” in that direction, his office said in a statement.
The Iranian president said Tehran and Minsk could “cooperate well” through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), especially in the fields of industry, mining, trade, agriculture, and road construction.
