TEHRAN- Iranian parliamentarians have revised a cooperation bill between Iran and Russia in the realm of information security.
The decision came during a public session on Sunday, when the members of the Parliament scrutinized the report presented by the National Security Council detailing the collaboration between the Islamic Republic and Russia in this crucial domain.
To ensure thorough examination and legal compliance, representatives opted to seek the opinion of the Constitutional Council regarding the proposed amendments, ultimately giving their assent to the bill.
Crucially, the amended bill now mandates adherence to the fundamental principles outlined in Articles 77, 125, and 139 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran throughout the implementation of this legislation.
Earlier on April 25, Iran and Russia signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop bilateral relations in the security sector.
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Akbar Ahmadian and his Russian counterpart, Nikolai Patrushev, put their signatures on the document, during a meeting on the sidelines of the 12th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in St. Petersburg.
Under the MoU, Tehran and Moscow will work towards boosting their cooperation in various strategic areas.
Iran and Russia, as two close and strategic allies, have over the past years deepened their ties in different fields, including security and defense, despite being under heavy Western sanctions.
The 12th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues was held in St. Petersburg on April 23-25, with the participation of delegates from 106 countries.
In a video address to the event, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his country’s readiness to forge close cooperation with all interested partners in ensuring global and regional security.
Undoubtedly, international terrorism remains one of the gravest threats of the 21st century, he said, warning that radical groups and intelligence agencies of certain countries perpetrate terrorist attacks in a bid to destabilize sovereign states and fuel interethnic and interreligious discord.
