Iran, Russia Stress Promotion of Cultural Ties

Torkaman highlighted Iran’s readiness for strengthening cultural relations with Russia, especially with respect to formation of joint committee on cultural cooperation.

He also welcomed holding interfaith talks between Islam and Christianity.

Dzhagaryan, also, stressed bolstering religious talks in a bid to reach a common understanding.

Russian Federation is ready to develop cultural ties with Iran, he added.
