‘Moscow, Tehran to establish joint technological market’
TEHRAN – Lauding Iran’s achievements and progress in the technology sector, Russian Presidential Aide Andrei Fursenko has said that Russia and Iran intend to establish a joint market for technological products within a third country.
Referring to a visit to an exhibition held on the sidelines of the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the official noted that Iranian technological products are of good quality and competitive in international markets, IRNA reported.
He said that he had been participating in Iran’s annual exhibitions for several years and had seen many devices and achievements there. Despite coercive sanctions and economic pressures, Iranian technological products have managed to maintain a high standard, Fursenko stressed.
The official went on to say that the country would excel in the international arena if all sanctions were removed.
Fursenko said the scientific cooperation between the two countries focuses on funding development and research projects.
Iran-Russia scientific conference
The second scientific conference between Iran and Russia was held in Moscow on December 15, 2025, with Iran’s ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali; science attaché, Hadi Goudarzi, and representatives from universities and scientific institutions of the two countries in attendance.
Referring to Iran’s unique history and the civilizational commonalities between the two countries, Russian Presidential Aide Andrei Fursenko emphasized the need to strengthen cultural and academic relations between Iran and Russia, msrt.ir reported.
“The Russian government is completely ready to promote collaborations with Iran in the science and technology sectors. Russia and Iran need to rely on their capabilities in the pursuit of global development and play their historical role,” he noted.
Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Denis Sergeevich Sekirinsky, for his part, said the two nations have their own distinguished civilizations, maintaining cultural traditions and spiritual value. These historical commonalities have resulted in mutual respect and trust, as well as fostering cooperation.
Iranian and Russian universities and research organisations signed over 70 memoranda of understanding (MOUs) just over the past year, he noted.
For his part, Jalali highlighted the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Iran and Russia and emphasized the need to boost ties in scientific, technical, and cultural fields.
Independent countries like Iran and Russia should pursue the path to realizing a more just world through intellectual, historical, and cultural cooperation; meanwhile, scientific and elite dialogues will play a fundamental role, he added.
During the meeting, the two sides underlined developing cooperation between the universities of the two countries, memoranda of understanding, BRICS scientific projects, the exchange of professors and students, and mutual recognition of qualifications.
The conference included specialized meetings such as ‘Iran and Russia: from centuries of history to dialogue of civilizations’, and ‘synergy of knowledge and economy: new horizons of cooperation between Iran and Russia’.
The first scientific conference was held in 2022. The event is supposed to make great strides in deepening scientific relations, bolstering joint research, and expanding scientific and civilizational talks.
