Armenian PM due in Tehran

Addressing the 26th anniversary of Armenian independence on Thursday, Ali Reza Daemi said that promoting security, stability and welfare is among Iran's major strategies in the region.

Iran-Armenia ties are example of friendship among followers of divine religions and Iran has never spared any effort to help progress, flourishing and security of the country over the past 26 years.

Daemi, also head of Iranian Delegation of the Iran-Armenia Economic Cooperation Commission, further noted that Iran believes that regional disputes should be solved through peaceful and constructive dialogues.

In recent years, the two countries have taken positive steps in the fields of political, cultural, economic and commercial relations, he said.

Referring to holding 14 meetings of the Iranian and Armenian economic cooperation commission, he said that the next session will be held in the near future.

Reciprocal meetings between the two countries’ presidents, Iran’s first vice president and Armenian prime minister, foreign ministers and other high-ranking officials have been held regularly, he said.

Referring to Rouhani’s visit to Yerevan last year when five cooperation documents were signed by the two countries, Daemi addedthat Armenian president also visited Tehran this year for the second time to attend his Iranian counterpart’s swearing-in ceremony.
