Iran has expressed its gratitude to its regional partners, specifically highlighting the support provided by Azerbaijan. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh emphasized the importance of solidarity among neighboring nations during a recent statement to the press.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the Deputy Minister stated that Tehran highly values the support received from Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other regional states. He noted that a recent phone conversation between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and President Ilham Aliyev served as a platform to discuss the continuation of mutual relations and bilateral cooperation. "We highly appreciate the solidarity and support we have received from the countries of the region," Khatibzadeh said, adding that Iran maintains positive relations with all regional neighbors.
The diplomatic engagement between Baku and Tehran has seen a period of revitalization as both nations seek to enhance economic cooperation and regional stability. This dialogue is particularly significant within the context of developing transport corridors and energy projects in the South Caucasus. Azerbaijan, having restored its territorial integrity, continues to advocate for a regional cooperation format that ensures long-term peace and security, a position that has been increasingly recognized by its neighbors in the Republic of Azerbaijan and beyond.
