"We hope that new opportunities for solving the Iranian nuclear problem will emerge after the Iranian elections," Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists after talks with US leader Barack Obama.
He said that Moscow was ready to contribute to the negotiation process both on bilateral level and as part of international efforts.
Obama, in his turn, said he and Putin shared "cautious optimism" on the issue and expressed hope that under the new president of Iran, all the parties concerned would have an opportunity to "move forward with dialogue."
The US president also said that two "nuclear superpowers" - Russia and the United States - should lead the global nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament efforts.
