Iran Press/Europe: Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani met and held talks with the chairwomen of Russia's Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko on the sideline of the 141st Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly in Belgrade, Serbia on Monday.
"Given Donald Trump’s destructive behavior on the international scene, world leaders need to build more trust among themselves in a bid to reverse the negative impacts of his measures,” Larijani made the remarks in the meeting.
Valentina Matviyenko, for her part, said: "Russia is opposed to the dismantling of the nuclear deal as it would bring about many adverse consequences."
She also highlighted the importance of dialogue on international issues, adding: "Trump’s measures have escalated tensions to an alarming point."
The chairwomen of Russia's Federation Council then appreciated Iran’s effective role and efforts in finding a way for the return of stability and establishment of a ceasefire in Syria.
Ali Larijani traveled to Belgrade on Sunday to attend the 141st IPU Assembly from October 13 to 17.
The IPU is the global inter-parliamentary institution that facilitates parliamentary diplomacy and empowers parliaments and parliamentarians to promote peace, democracy and sustainable development around the world.
