Iran sees no limit to expanding economic ties with Azerbaijan
Tehran (KNA) - The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Ali Larijani said that Iran welcomes expansion of economic ties with neighboring countries, including Republic of Azerbaijan.
Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani made the comments in a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov in Tehran on Saturday.
Larijani said in the meeting that "we see no limit to expanding economic relations with neighboring countries, including Azerbaijan."
The top Iranian legislator referred to the North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), hailing the strategic North-South railway for linking the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea.
Larijani further called on Azerbaijan to waiver visas for Iranian citizens, just as Iran has already done for Azeri people visiting the Islamic Republic.
The Azeri foreign minister, in turn, said that "there are no problems with bilateral relations between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan in political, cultural and human fields," calling for expanding relations in the economic areas as well.
