Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that a delegation of 80 large companies will visit Iran next week, Russian state-owned news agency RIA reported.

Putin and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi are at a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Samarkand, in Uzbekistan. Earlier, Iran's foreign minister said that Tehran had signed a memorandum to join the bloc.

"By signing the document for full membership of the SCO, now Iran has entered a new stage of various economic, commercial, transit and energy cooperation," Hossein Amirabdollahian wrote on his Instagram page.

Raisi said that the cooperation between Iran and Russia “can significantly neutralize the limitations imposed on our countries by the US sanctions.”

"Iran is determined to boost its ties with Russia, from economic to aerospace and political fields," Raisi said during his meeting with Putin, according to Iranian state media.

Russia can "definitely" work with the administration of Donald Trump after he is sworn in as US president next month, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

Ryabkov reiterated accusations by Moscow that "reckless" actions by the West had raised the risk of nuclear war, and said Russia wanted to reduce the potential for conflict.
"Managing this crisis and getting to less shaky ground than now should be put on the agenda of hypothetical discussions with the Americans," Ryabkov told a panel discussion.
"Is it possible to work with the Trump administration? It's definitely possible," he replied when asked about the potential for cooperation.
His comments were the latest signal that Moscow, once Trump takes office, hopes for an improvement in bilateral ties which the Kremlin has said are currently "below zero".
President Vladimir Putin said last month that Trump's comments about ending the war in Ukraine - which the American has said repeatedly he could halt very quickly, but without saying how - were deserving of attention.
Ryabkov said he wanted to underline that no contacts of any kind had so far taken place between Russia and the incoming Trump team.
