BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 10. Iran's Ardabil
Province can establish economic relations with other countries
through Azerbaijan, the governor of the province, Masoud Emami
Yeganeh, told Trend.
He said that one of the priorities the current government of
Iran (in power since August 2024) and the President of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, are seriously focusing on is
the development of relations between the border provinces and
neighboring countries in various fields.
He believes that one can really make hay while the sun shines
with border diplomacy, especially since Ardabil Province, nestled
in the northwest of Iran, boasts a 370 km long border with
Azerbaijan.
"By developing economic and trade relations with Azerbaijan,
Ardabil Province can establish economic relations with the
countries of the South Caucasus, member states of the Eurasian
Economic Union, and countries of Eastern Europe through Azerbaijan.
In this context Ardabil Province has focused on economic
development by establishing relations with investors from various
countries over the past year.
During the discussions within the framework of the visit to
Azerbaijan, a special place was given to the activities of the
recently commissioned Ardabil Free Trade and Industrial Zone. This
zone can create an opportunity for the establishment of a joint
trade and industrial zone between the two countries. The relevant
discussions are underway between the two countries," he noted.
