The Iranian foreign minister has said he will head to Moscow today, where he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin tomorrow.

“Russia is a friend of Iran and we enjoy a strategic partnership,” Al Jazeera quoted him as saying at a news conference in Istanbul.

“We always consult with each other and coordinate our positions,” Araghchi said, noting that Russia was one of the signatories of the 2015 nuclear pact.

“I will have serious consultations with the Russian president tomorrow, and we continue to work with each other.”
