SAEDNEWS: Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev voiced his country’s readiness to expand economic and trade relations with Iran.
During a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Baku on Monday, Mustafayev highlighted the deep cultural and historical ties between Azerbaijan and Iran, stressing the importance of implementing agreements reached at the presidential level.
He noted that the rise in flights between the two countries and the acceleration of joint border projects are among the tangible outcomes of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s visit to Baku in late April, reflecting both governments’ commitment to enhancing cooperation across all areas of mutual interest.
Recalling his three visits to Iran over the past year and trips to various Iranian provinces, the deputy premier reaffirmed Azerbaijan’s readiness to expand economic and trade relations with Tehran.
Araqchi, in turn, cited constructive discussions with the Azerbaijani president, foreign minister, and National Assembly speaker during his visit. He expressed confidence that the agreements reached would strengthen bilateral relations and broaden cooperation in trade, transportation, transit, energy, water, and cultural tourism.
