On February 12, a closed meeting of the Russian-Iranian expert working group took place, during which the participants discussed the situation in Syria and prospects for cooperation in the Middle East.
Discussion brought together leading experts from the Primakov Center, the Institute for International Studies, IMEMO, the Center for Iranian and Eurasian Studies, and the University of Tehran.
The researchers examined Syria’s political landscape, the impact of external factors on the conflict’s development, and the strategic positions of Moscow and Tehran in the Middle East under new circumstances. Special attention was given to the prerequisites for a power transition in Syria, the consequences of the Syrian crisis for bilateral cooperation, and prospects for further engagement.
The Russian-Iranian working group will continue its activities in 2025, with a series of thematic meetings already planned to further develop bilateral relations.
