Awake Goy In a meeting with new Azeri ambassador to Tehran, President Rouhani said the two countries are determined to enhance bilateral relations.
The termination of anti-Iran sanctions under a lasting nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers has provided an opportunity for the expansion of Tehran-Baku ties, he added.
For his part, the incoming envoy, Bunyad Huseynov, said Azerbaijan has never had any doubt about friendship with Iran.
Stronger bilateral, regional and international cooperation between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan will serve the interests of both nations, the ambassador explained.
Iran and Azerbaijan have accelerated efforts in recent years to forge closer partnership in various areas.
Back in February, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev paid an official visit to Tehran, during which the two sides signed eleven Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements to promote mutual cooperation in a range of fields.
