Iran-Russia, Politics, 9/5/2006

Iran's parliament Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel yesterday said completion of construction of Bushehr atomic powerplant on time will contribute to the promotion of future cooperation between Iran and Russia.

According to majlis Media Department, Haddad-Adel in a meeting with the Head of Russia's Supreme Court Vicheslav Lebedov called Bushehr atomic powerplant as a symbol of friendly cooperation between the two countries.

Majlis speaker called relations between the two countries in bilateral and international levels very important and said, " We must take advantage of all opportunities to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries." Concerning developments in the international relations, Haddad-Adel said judicial cooperation between countries in the field of fight against terrorism, smuggling of goods, drugs as well as human smuggling are one of the most important issues in the relations.

One of the important issues of cooperation between the two countries is human rights, which is abused by super powers and has turned into a political issue and has been a pretext to interfere in other countries' affairs, the speaker said.

He evaluated his visit to Iran "very valuable" and said in this trip he has had very important negotiations in the field of judicial cooperation with Iranian officials.

The Russian official added strengthening bilateral judicial cooperation causes consolidation of friendly relations, confidence and good willing between the two countries.

Head of Russian Federation Supreme Court arrived in Tehran on Sunday at the head of a high ranking Russian judicial delegation. He has met with Iran's Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Shahroudi and head of Iran's supreme court Ayatollah Hossein Mofid, so far.
