This meeting, which was founded by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will be held on Wednesday morning, during which the latest security, political and economic developments in Afghanistan will be reviewed by the country's neighbors and consensus will be reached.
One of the main plans planned for this trip is Shamkhani's meeting and discussion with high Russian officials and pursuing bilateral agreements.

Iran has repeatedly declared its readiness to use its available capacities to convince the parties to the conflict in the Ukraine crisis to reach a political solution and avoid the continuation of war and bloodshed.
Western countries, especially the United States, in order to find an excuse to pursue the policy of continuing the war in Ukraine, are trying to introduce the main axis of bilateral cooperation between Iran and Russia, the purchase and sale of military equipment, with the aim of strengthening Moscow's offensive base in this war. The fact is that the most important common point between Iran and Russia, which has shaped bilateral relations in new conditions, is the exchange of economic and commercial capacities to neutralize illegal sanctions.

He has used it to impose his political will on the countries that were not willing to accept the domination of the West.
