The Iranian foreign minister says the expansion of Iran’s all-out relations with Armenia will serve the two countries’ interests and be beneficial to peace, stability and sustainable security in the region.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a meeting with Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan in Tehran on Saturday.
The top Iranian diplomat stressed the need to continue joint efforts to promote cooperation in various political, economic, trade, scientific and cultural fields.
Late in December, Amir-Abdollahian met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in Yerevan and discussed mutual relations and the latest regional issues, particularly the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the status of Karabakh region.
The Armenian diplomat, for his part, said his country attaches special significance to the improvement of ties with Iran which is beneficial to regional stability and security.
Kostanyan added that he held fruitful talks with his Iranian counterpart Ali Bagheri Kani and noted that the two sides agreed to continue consultations at different levels.
