Baku, Azerbaijan, April 27. Overcoming
obstacles to economic cooperation could be a top priority during
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s upcoming visit to Azerbaijan,
former Iranian MP Mahmoud Abbaszadeh told Trend.
He noted that President Pezeshkian will be accompanied by a
large economic delegation, reflecting the importance placed on
strengthening economic ties.
According to Abbaszadeh, both countries possess significant
resources and capabilities, allowing them to meet each other’s
needs at minimal cost.
The former lawmaker stressed that developing and deepening
relations between Iran and Azerbaijan is in the best interests of
both countries and their peoples.
He added that expanding ties with neighboring countries remains
one of the key pillars of Iran’s foreign policy.
Abbaszadeh emphasized that both nations can strengthen cooperation
without interfering in each other’s internal affairs.
“I believe that neither country will allow its territory to be
used against the interests of the other, given the deep bonds they
share – including common history, geography, borders, and culture,”
he said.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is scheduled to visit
Azerbaijan on April 28.
