In an interview on Friday, Jalali said: "The agreement on the basis of mutual relations and principles of cooperation between Iran and Russia was ratified by the two sides on such a day 20 years ago and it was decided that after the 20-year deadline, if the two countries, Iran and Russia, do not declare a point or consideration to the other party one year before the end of the treaty period, it can be automatically extended for five years, and it can be extended in the same way every five years."
The Agreement on Mutual Relations and Principles of Cooperation between Iran and Russia was signed by the two sides on March 1, 2001, in 21 articles, during the visit of the then President of Iran to Moscow.
