TEHRAN – The Iranian ambassador to Moscow said on Saturday that no negotiations have been held with the Russian Federation so far for a general visa cancellation.

However, Mehdi Sanaei said, Iran and Russia have signed an agreement on easing visa requirements for special groups such as tourists and businessmen, ILNA reported.

The agreement will exempt tourists taken by the tour agencies in groups between five and fifty people from the need for individual visas, he stated.
