TEHRAN, 14 April, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called for boosting defense cooperation with Russia.

Rouhani said in a meeting with visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Iran expects expansion of military and defense cooperation between Tehran and Moscow.

He said it while considering the termination of a UN arms embargo on Iran in October last year, the media reported. 

Lavrov arrived in Iran's capital Tehran on Tuesday for talks with senior Iranian officials on bilateral relations and international issues.

He also called for enhancement of economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, saying bilateral relations must grow despite pressures.

Iran favors regional cooperation to ensure peace and stability however, it would also serve as a means against the U.S. interference in regional affairs.
