Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has said that Tehran considers the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) one of the most important platforms for pursuing joint development, according to TASS.
Aref said that Iran's responsibility going forward is to translate existing economic potential between Iran and EAEU member states into concrete outcomes, including expanded trade, investment, and collaborative development projects. His remarks point to continued Iranian interest in deepening economic integration with the bloc.
The Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Russia and several other post-Soviet states, has in recent years become an increasingly significant trade partner for Iran, as Tehran has sought to diversify its international economic relationships amid ongoing Western sanctions.
Aref's comments did not specify particular projects or initiatives planned between Iran and the EAEU, but reflect an overall emphasis from Iranian officials on strengthening ties with the bloc as part of a broader strategy to expand economic cooperation beyond traditional Western markets.
Iran has pursued closer trade arrangements with EAEU member states over recent years, including efforts to establish preferential trade terms aimed at reducing barriers between Iranian and bloc markets. Officials from both sides have periodically emphasized the potential for expanded cooperation in sectors including energy, agriculture, and industrial goods.
No specific new agreements or timelines were announced alongside Aref's remarks as reported.
