Baku, Azerbaijan, April 27. The visit of
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Azerbaijan, a key country in
the South Caucasus, is of great significance, Iran’s ex-Ambassador
to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pakayin told Trend.
He pointed out that choosing Azerbaijan as the first stop on the
president’s South Caucasus tour underscores the importance Tehran
attaches to its relationship with Baku.
Pakayin stated that the visit is expected to further develop
cooperation in areas such as the economy, culture, transport, and
other sectors.
“With the liberation of Karabakh and the restoration of peace in
the South Caucasus, the Iranian president’s visit creates favorable
conditions for strengthening regional cooperation. Iran supports
peace, security, and the territorial integrity of the countries in
the region,” Pakayin emphasized.
He also noted that Azerbaijan and Iran share strong historical,
cultural, and other ties, which open up significant opportunities
for building a solid partnership between the two countries.

have once again shown that Iran and Azerbaijan are well-positioned
to cooperate successfully in fields like energy, transport,
freight, tourism, trade, agriculture, banking, and more,” he
added.
