Monday’s conversation is the third between the two leaders since early 2023. Putin and Raisi previously talked over the phone twice in January.
One of the infrastructure projects Moscow and Tehran are implementing is the North-South corridor.
Russia, India, and Iran signed an intergovernmental agreement on the International North-South Transport Corridor in 2000.
Later on, the number of participants has grown to 14.
The goal is to attract transit cargo traffic from India, Iran, and the Persian Gulf through Russian territory to Europe.
