TEHRAN – Iran’s ambassador to Moscow has said that visa waiver with Russia is highly favored by Iran.

Writing on Telegram on Sunday, Mehdi Sanaie said Iran may start related talks with Moscow next year.

Sanaie said the consideration comes after Moscow recently proposed visa waiver for tourist groups, which will be discussed and decided in a joint committee meeting in November.

He pointed out that Iran and Russia have already eased visa requirements for tradesmen.
