The Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Mehdi Sanaei was also present in the meeting.
Regarding the issuance of visas, the businessmen, industrialists, tourists, investors, truck-owners, university professors and students, artists and cultural groups have been prioritized.
It is noteworthy that as soon as the cooperation is in practice, the negotiations, the volume of trade exchange in economic, trade and tourism sectors as well as joint ventures will considerably thrive.
