Mohsen Paknejad, speaking at the official session of the 19th
Iran-Russia Joint Economic Commission, noted that Iran faces a critical
juncture in international transformations.
"In such circumstances, expanding interactions and bilateral
cooperations can be very effective and impactful," Paknejad said, adding
that these efforts hold significant meaning in the present international
system.
He expressed gratitude to the Russian side, particularly Sergei
Tsivilev, for their diligent pursuits, which have advanced prior understandings
into the implementation phase.
Paknejad described this progression to execution as a key achievement
of the joint commission.
He outlined ongoing follow-ups on resolutions through
commission-related meetings and joint monitoring by Iranian and Russian
secretariats throughout the year, with continuous efforts between the 18th and
19th sessions held in the same solar year (May and February).
Under four contracts, seven oil fields are under joint development
with Russian firms, Paknejad said, with some reaching production, marking a
valuable milestone.
