Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), led by Russia, have signed a free trade deal that will let them export more than 90% of their products without paying any tariffs, according to the IRNA news agency.

Iranian Deputy Trade Minister Alireza Peymanpak and #EAEU Minister of Trade Andrey Slepnev signed the free trade agreement in #Tehran on 19 January.

Peymanpak stated after the agreement was signed that it would enter into force after being accepted by the governments and parliaments of Iran and the five EAEU members: #Russia, #Armenia, #Kazakhstan, #Kyrgyzstan, and #Belarus, within the following nine months.

Long perceived as a buffer zone, post-Soviet Central #Asia received significant amounts of #military equipment, aid, and training from the international community in order to contain the threat of a mass exodus of refugees from #Afghanistan.
