TEHRAN (FNA)- Chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security
and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi underlined that
increasing parliamentary cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan will
strengthen economic relations between the two countries.
Boroujerdi made the remarks in a meeting with Armenian ambassador to
Iran Grigor Arakelyan on Wednesday.
He termed the historical affinities between Iran and Armenia a base
for further promotion of cooperation between the two countries, and
added that parliamentary cooperation can help improve economic
relations between Tehran and Yerevan.
Arakelyan, for his part, said that Armenian government and parliament
are determined to expand friendly relations with the Islamic Republic
of Iran.
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 Eduard Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters in
New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
issues.
