Putin cements ties with Iranian leader at Central Asia meeting

MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Oct 11 in Turkmenistan, where the two leaders hailed their countries' growing economic ties and similar views on world affairs, an entente viewed with concern by the US.

At odds with Washington and the European Union over Russia's war in Ukraine - something Mr Putin casts as part of a wider existential struggle against an arrogant and self-interested West - the Russian leader is keen to deepen ties with what he calls the Global East and Global South.

Mr Putin, whose country is hosting a summit of the Brics nations in Kazan from Oct 22 to 24, invited Mr Pezeshkian to come to Russia on an official visit, a proposal the Iranian leader accepted, according to Russia's state RIA news agency.
