Iran International:

Iran expects to sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Russia on January 17 during President Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to Moscow, government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani told Sputnik Saturday.

Referring to earlier discussions, Mohajerani noted that Iran's president met with Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, in October, and expressed optimism about finalizing the deal.

"Specifically with Russia, we anticipate the president's visit to Moscow, during which we hope to see progress on two key issues: the North-South Corridor, which is already underway, and the plan to transfer Russian gas to Iran—both of which have been key points of agreement between the two sides," Mohajerani said.
