Masoud Pezeshkian’s visit demonstrated that the economies of Iran and Belarus complement each other in many areas. Belarus is known for its production of heavy mining machinery and industrial equipment, while Iran, with its vast mineral resources, has a demand for such technologies. The current trade volume stands at $140 million, a figure expected to grow significantly with the implementation of the new agreements. The visit created a platform for the industries of both countries to transform their potential capacities into operational projects through joint investment and technology transfer.
Strengthening Political Relations and Regional Diplomacy
Iran–Belarus political ties are now at their highest level in three decades, and this visit is regarded as a turning point in the sustainable development of bilateral relations. By attending bilateral meetings and signing cooperation documents, Pezeshkian emphasized that collaboration between the two countries can provide a framework to counter unilateralism and the sanctions pressure imposed by the United States and certain European states. This perspective clearly reflects the independent course, based on shared interests, that the two countries are pursuing in international politics.
Signing of 12 Cooperation Documents and a Joint Statement
During the trip, 12 cooperation documents were signed across political, industrial, pharmaceutical, tourism, environmental, media, and investment sectors, alongside a joint statement by the presidents of Iran and Belarus. These agreements consolidate the legal and operational framework for bilateral cooperation and provide clarity for the development of future relations. The Belarusian National Library, illuminated in the colors of Iran’s flag, stood as a symbol of the two countries’ political and cultural will to deepen friendly and lasting ties.
Joint Confrontation of International Challenges
Pezeshkian’s visit provided an opportunity for both countries to send a clear message against domination and unilateralism. Through frameworks such as the Eurasian Economic Union, BRICS, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Iran and Belarus are prepared to expand cooperation in political, economic, and security fields. Such cooperation offers a model for countering sanctions and external pressures while also supporting the independence and sovereignty of regional states.
