Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during his visit to Tehran, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, RIA Novosti reported.

"Our president has two meetings planned, to be exact, even three meetings - these are talks with (Iranian President) Raisi, with (Turkish President) Erdogan, and also the president will pay a visit to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. We hope that this will be a very rich dialogue," Peskov said.

According to him, Iran is Russia's friend and partner, and Moscow greatly values its bilateral relations. "In recent months, in the last few years, additional impetus has been given in all areas - political, diplomatic coordination, economic cooperation," he added.

Peskov noted that Iran and Russia will eventually move away from the practice of using the dollar in cooperation. "And you and I know that last year the volume of trade and economic relations between the two countries slightly exceeded four billion US dollars, although it may be wrong to count them in US dollars, and over time we will probably move away from this practice as we develop our cooperation in the banking financial sphere."

He specified that in the first four months of this year alone, trade turnover increased by 31%, calling it a positive trend.
