TEHRAN (PressTV) -- A delegation from Russia’s Gazprom will visit Iran next month to finalize a gas deal with the country, says a top Iranian oil official.

Iran’s Deputy Oil Minister for International Affairs Hossein Noqrekar-Shirazi added that the two sides would hold talks on a number of issues, including the development of three phases of South Pars gas field, Shana news agency reported.
In a February meeting in Tehran, the Russian energy giant and the National Iranian Gas Company reached an agreement to form a joint company to implement energy projects.
During the meeting, Gazprom had also voiced interest to help develop the upstream and downstream sectors of Iran’s energy industry and implement liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the country.
