TEHRAN - Iranian First Vice President Es'haq Jahangiri has said
that Tehran attaches great importance to relations with neighboring
countries and Azerbaijan has an important status in this respect.
Jahangiri made the remarks during a meeting with Azeri Minister of
Communications and Information Technologies Ali Abbasov in Tehran
on Wednesday.
He said cultural, religious and historical affinities between Iran
and Azerbaijan have paved the way for expansion of fraternal relations.
He stated that it is necessary to take steps to increase economic
interactions between the two neighbors.
Jahangiri added that Azeri President Ilham Aliyev's trip to Iran
opened new chapter in relations.
In April, the Azeri president made a trip to Iran during which
three memorandums of understanding and one agreement for bilateral
cooperation were signed.
For his part, Abbasov praised Iran for its stance toward the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Abbasov described his visits with Iranian officials as positive and
said that an Azeri private sector delegation will hold talks with
their Iranian counterparts to study expansion of economic cooperation.
He went on to say that a joint economic committee's meeting will be
held in near future, expressing hope that it would help promotion of
economic interactions.
