Moscow | May 09, 2008 12:01:13 AM IST
Outgoing Russian President Vladimir Putin says relations with Iran won't change when his successor Dmitry Medvedev takes office. The assurance from Putin was conveyed to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday by Russia's acting Security Council chief Valentin Sobolev, the Russian news agency Novosti reports. At a meeting in Tehran Sobolev said Russia confirms its principles in relations with Iran, and that its policy does not depend on who is in power at the moment. He and Ahmadinejad discussed international and regional issues including the Iranian nuclear program and bilateral cooperation in peaceful energy use, the report said. Sobolev was among a delegation of high-ranking Russia officials who visited Tehran. Medvedev will be inaugurated as Russia's president on May 7 when Putin will assume the position of prime minister.
