Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has hailed Russia's presidency over the BRICS group of emerging economies as a good opportunity to expand relations between Tehran and Moscow in various fields.

The 10th BRICS Parliamentary Forum has kicked off in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, with de-dollarization being at the top of the agenda of the event that saw the participation of Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says bilateral cooperation between Moscow and Tehran will continue to grow under the upcoming Iranian administration led by president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian.

Iran's membership in different trade blocs was one of the highlights of the 13th administration headed by Ebrahim Raeisi.

The governor of the Central Bank of Iran says Iran’s economic growth rate is the highest in West Asia.

The film follows the late Iranian president Raeisi's journey to South Africa for the BRICS summit, highlighting Iran's new membership in the group amid media silence on the significance of this event.
