President Masoud Pezeshkian, while referring to the efforts of ill-wishers to create discord and division among Islamic countries and the failure to form fruitful relations in the region, especially between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan, said, “With the determination and will that exist among the leaders of the Islamic world as well as high officials of Iran and Azerbaijan to expand interactions and cooperation, these efforts of ill-wishers will not come.”
Pezeshkian spoke at a meeting with a high-ranking delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev, who is visiting Tehran.
Based on the deep cultural and religious commonalities between governments and states, Pezeschkian described the relationship between the two countries as brothers, saying, “We are interested in expanding these relationships in all political, economic and cultural fields. There is no obstacle to the pathway to developing interactions and cooperation between the two countries.”
Regarding his recent visit to the Republic of Azerbaijan and the active and constructive meetings and agreements between the two countries, the President added:
Shahin Mustafayev also met with the secretary of Ali Larijani, the Iranian National Security Council.
