Iran, Russia and India held a trilateral meeting in Moscow on Sunday discussing the threats facing the modern world and obstacles on the path to develop cooperation between the neighboring and regional states.

Iranian Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanaei and Chairman of Foreign Ministry Political and International Research Institute Seyed Kazem Sajjadpour represented the Islamic Republic in the event.
Addressing the meeting on Sunday, Sanaei stressed the importance of coordination and collaboration between the three states, suggesting that implementation of joint projects should be facilitated.
The ambassador pointed to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the International North-South Passage, and the Iran-Pakistan-India gas project with the cooperation of Russia as highly important joint initiatives.
Stressing the importance of the North-South Passage for Iran and Russia, he said participation in the project can be highly important and beneficial to New Delhi as well.
Sanaei further said there are trilateral projects in which Iran, Russia and India are involved.
Referring to the long-term strategic ties between the Islamic Republic and Russia, the Iranian envoy said the two countries are making every effort to boost mutual economic ties.
Also on Saturday, Ambassador Sanaei said the world’s independent states are coming closer to each other to stand united against U.S. pressures and sanctions.
He made the remarks on his Twitter page, referring to the first day of the trilateral talks among Iran, Russia and India in Moscow.
“The wave of the U.S. unilateralism and sanctions will bring independent world states much closer to each other,” he wrote.
