Iranian Energy Minister Meets Armenia's President
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namjou and Armenia's
President Serzh Sargsian emphasized expansion of the bilateral ties
between two friendly countries.
At the meeting in Yerevan on Friday, the Armenian president stressed
the importance of consolidating mutual cooperation with Iran in
various political, economic and cultural fields.
He lauded the growing ties between Yerevan and Tehran and expressed
confidence that the Iran-Armenia joint state commission would play a
leading role in the further expansion of cooperation in all areas.
The Armenian president said the construction of Meghri hydroelectric
power plant over the Aras River, which forms the common border between
two countries, would begin soon as another instance of constructive
bilateral cooperation.
Namjou, for his part, said he would spare no effort to implement
agreements already reached by the Iranian and Armenian presidents.
Iran has long taken various diplomatic initiatives to expand its ties
with the neighboring states.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
cooperation, signed agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to
cooperate in technology and research and to enhance ties in commerce
and economy.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
pledged in December 2011 to further expand "high-level relations"
between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus to the
implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
schedule.
In early October, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his
Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters in
New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
issues.
