Russian President Dmitry Medvedev today will arrive in Baku, Azerbaijan, to attend the Caspian summit to be held in Azerbaijani capital.
Medvedev will meet on Thursday with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to discuss Iran's nuclear program, Kremlin aide Sergei Prikhodko said on Wednesday. The two leaders will meet on the sidelines of the summit, RIA Novosti news agency quoted Prikhodko as saying.
The US and its allies accuse Iran of pursuing a military nuclear program, and used their influence in the UN Security Council (UNSC) to impose fourth round of sanctions against the country over its nuclear program in June.
Russia, Iran's longtime trade partner, had traditionally opposed the adoption of the UNSC resolution against Tehran, but joined world powers in approving the sanctions against the country.
