Speaking about bilateral relations, the Russian President, during a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in Bishkek on Friday, stressed that they are comprehensive. “It concerns economy, regional stability issues and our joint efforts in the fight against terrorism, including in Syria,” Putin said.
