TEHRAN (FNA)- An Armenian provincial official said his country is
ready for mutual cooperation with Iran's Northwestern province of
East Azarbaijan in the auto-making industry.
Governor-General of Armenia's Syunik province Suren Khachatrian made
the remarks in a meeting with Governor-General of East Azarbaijan
Alireza Beigi in Tabriz on Tuesday.
"Syunik province can pave the way for the presence of East Azarbaijan's
auto industry in global markets by setting up assembly lines of
Iranian cars," Khachatrian said.
He noted that the two countries have considerable capacities for
boosting and reinvigorating their joint investments.
Armenia is a member of the World Trade Organization and its Gross
Domestic Product hits $9.4bln.
Armenia's per capita income is $5,700 and the volume of foreign
investment in the country is $570mln.
Last month, Iranian Ambassador to Yerevan Mohammad Rayeesi stressed
the age-old and close ties and cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan,
and said the relations with Armenia are of great importance to Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes expansion of ties with Armenia,
Rayeesi said in December, adding that Iran is willing to develop
cooperation with Armenia in all areas on mutual interests.
He made the remark during his tour of Yerevan College for International
Relations Studies.
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.
