Moscow-Sana
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced that Russia and Iran have agreed to switch to financial settlements in national currencies.
Novak said today: One of the main topics he discussed during his talks with Iranian officials in Tehran was the financial and banking relationship between the two countries, creating conditions for mutual settlements and passing payments between legal entities.
He added: It is important that we agreed to switch to settlements in national currencies as much as possible, and we discussed with central banks the distribution and operation of the financial messaging system, as well as linking Mir and Shtaab payment cards and the possibility of their operation in the two countries.
Novak also indicated that representatives of the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance of Iran are expected to visit the Russian capital, Moscow, in the near future to complete the discussion of cooperation files with Russia.
