Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Presidential Library in St. Petersburg on April 27, the Russian news agency Interfax reported.
In the public portion of the talks, Putin said Russia would do “everything” to achieve peace in the Middle East as quickly as possible.
Araghchi described Iran’s relationship with Russia as a “strategic partnership at the highest level.”
The public portion of the meeting lasted just over five minutes. The talks themselves ran an hour and a half.
Abbas Araghchi is one of the central figures in negotiations to end the war with the United States. Those talks are currently suspended. Tehran is demanding that the United States lift its blockade of Iranian ports.
