The creation of a Caspian Council could further boost regional cooperation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting with the top diplomats of Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, APA reports citing TASS.
"Today, we can say with certainty that cooperation in the Caspian region has reached a high level but additional efforts are needed to improve the quality of five-party interaction and strengthen its foundations in terms of international law," he pointed out.
"The move to create a Caspian Council could raise the effectiveness of our work, which would be a forum for cooperation and dialogue free of bureaucratic red tape," Lavrov added.
