Today, the relations between Azerbaijan and Iran are of great importance not only for the two countries, but also for the region and the world, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at the Azerbaijan-Iran business forum in Baku on March 29, APA reports.
The president noted that today friendly and fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Iran are at the highest level.
“Yesterday's talks and discussions proved this once again,” said President Aliyev, stressing that the two countries cooperate very actively in political, economic and other areas.
“We meet regularly with President Rouhani. Over the last four years, we have had 11 meetings. This figure itself shows how closely we cooperate and what kind of mutual trust exists between us. It is natural because our peoples have lived and worked together for centuries,” the head of state added.
According to the Azerbaijani president, a shared history and culture between the two countries is a key factor for present-day relations. “It is a great pleasure for us to see these relations growing fast,” he said.
President Aliyev went on to say: “Since our political relations have reached such a high level, of course, we can implement any economic and transport projects and that’s what we’re doing. We personally control all the tasks we have given. I’m glad that members of the intergovernmental commission and all officials perform their duties honorably.”
Today, the relations between Azerbaijan and Iran are of great importance not only for the two countries, but also for the region and the world, the head of state stressed. “…because the projects implemented on the initiatives of the two countries are of great importance for the entire region and the Eurasian continent.”
President Aliyev said yesterday he also discussed with his Iranian counterpart the development of trade relations.
“We think the current level of trade relations does not reflect the level of our ties. Therefore, my recommendation to businessmen participating in this business forum is that we must cooperate even more closely,” he said.
The head of state underscored the need to take practical steps in order to increase the mutual trade turnover. “I hope our mutual export will also increase in the coming years. There are opportunities to achieve this,” President Aliyev added.
