The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani will upgrade bilateral relations, the Iranian Communications Minister and head of the Iran-Russia joint economic commission Mahmoud Vaezi said at the meeting with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak.
"The meeting of the two leaders in Tehran in 2015 was a climax in the Russian-Iranian relations. The next meeting between Rouhani and Putin on August 8 in Baku will bring the relations to the next level," Sputnik cited Vaezi as saying.
The meeting is expected to focus on the situation in Syria, Iraq and the surge of terrorist activity in Europe, among other topics.
