Pezeshkian: Caspian Sea cooperation key to ensure shared regional interests
President Masoud Pezeshkian says the Islamic Republic of Iran supports the expansion of cooperation among the Caspian Sea littoral states to ensure common interests and protect the environment.
In a phone call on Monday with Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, National Leader of the Turkmen People, Pezeshkian hailed Turkmenistan’s initiative to declare 2025 as the “International Year of Peace and Trust” in the country.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran favors the establishment of peace and friendship in the region and throughout the world, and welcomes cooperation with Turkmenistan and other countries in this regard,” the Iranian president said.
Pointing to the Iran-Turkmenistan cooperation in the electricity and energy sectors, Pezeshkian said the two countries also enjoy the potential to boost interaction in several other areas such as gas swap and transportation.
Pezeshkian placed a premium on the role the Iran-Turkmenistan Joint Economic Cooperation Commission can play in further developing bilateral relations.
For his part, Berdimuhamedov invited the Iranian president to take part in a conference in honor of the International Year of Peace and Trust in Turkmenistan and called for bilateral cooperation to promote peace and friendship in the region and the world.
He said Ashgabat and Tehran should enhance economic, cultural and artistic cooperation.
