Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on the 26th, before his trip to Russia, that he would discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin how to strengthen bilateral relations and issues of mutual concern. Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran's goal is to develop multilateralism, not unilateralism and the display of national military might. He pointed out that in trade, countries should use their national currencies or mutually agreed-upon currencies for transactions to avoid the effectiveness of unilateral US sanctions. Furthermore, he stated that ensuring the free flow of energy is essential for global energy sharing, and that understanding and strategic dialogue are the cornerstones of global energy management.
