Azerbaijan’s President to Visit Iran Soon
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Republic of Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev is scheduled to pay a visit to Iran within the next few days, an Iranian ambassador announced.
Iran's Ambassador in Baku Mohsen Pakayeen said Aliyev will make a trip to Tehran on April 9.
“The visit will take place on April 9, during which the two sides (Iran and Azerbaijan) will consult on the bilateral issues,” the envoy was quoted by on-line Lebanese newspaper, Al-Balad, as saying.
Earlier in January, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani held a meeting with his Azeri counterpart on the sidelines of the 44th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss city of Davos.
In that meeting, Rouhani pointed to the numerous commonalities between Tehran and Baku, something he said would make “the development and progress of the Azeri nation” highly significant for Iran.
He also expressed the Islamic Republic’s preparedness to furnish its northwestern neighbor, Azerbaijan Republic, with a range of technical expertise in various fields, including the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
