TABNAK, Sep, 30: Mishustin is scheduled to meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref, the Russian government said.

"Special attention" will be paid to implementation of large-scale joint projects in the sphere of transport, energy, industry, agriculture and other areas, it said in a statement.

Work on a new major agreement between Moscow and Tehran was announced in September 2022 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and late President Ebrahim Raisi.

In January, Russia's Foreign Ministry had said a new interstate treaty reflecting the "unprecedented upswing" in Russia-Iran ties was in the final stages of being agreed, and Putin and Raisi were expected to sign it soon.
