Governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Mohammadreza Farzin and his Russian counterpart Elvira Nabiullina have discussed banking and monetary cooperation between the two neighboring countries.
The two officials met on the sidelines of the 2nd Meeting of BRICS Ministers of Finance and Central Bank Governors in Moscow on Friday.
The meeting was also participated by Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali and Gholamreza Tajgardoun, an Iranian lawmaker who heads the Majlis (Iranian Parliament) Plan and Budget Commission.
Farzin’s visit to Moscow is seen as a prelude to President Masoud Pezeshkian’s visit to Russia later this month.
A BRICS Summit is due to be held in Kazan on October 22-24 on the sidelines of which a comprehensive cooperation deal between Iran and Russia is expected to be finalized.
