(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 18. Russia and Iran have strengthened their cooperation since the West imposed unilateral sanctions, long before the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement was signed or ratified, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Trend reports.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Lavrov emphasized that their collaboration began from the very first days of the sanctions.
