Iran seeks deeper ties with Turkmenistan: President Pezeshkian
Iran has historically sought to expand friendly relations with Turkmenistan and supports the expansion of cooperation across different sectors, says President Masoud Pezeshkian.
In a meeting with Turkmenistan's Foreign Minister Avazgeldyevich Meredov in Tehran, the Iranian president said the "necessary orders have been issued to the relevant authorities to examine the areas of further cooperation with the government of Turkmenistan."
The Iranian president underscored the removal of obstacles for accelerating the implementation of joint projects.
Pezeshkian also pointed to an upcoming meeting of the Caspian Sea littoral states in Tehran, and added that Iran seeks to expand relations among Caspian countries based on peace, friendship, and good neighborliness.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran wants to expand relations among the Caspian countries based on peace, friendship, and good neighborliness, and this approach will be raised in the upcoming Caspian summit with an emphasis on achieving practical solutions for the development of cooperation."
During this meeting, Meredov praised agreements between Iranian and Turkmen companies in fields like transportation and energy, and called for broader cooperation between Iran and Turkmenistan across all sectors.
Meredov also expressed hope that holding a Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation would enhance economic ties between both nations.
"Relations between the two countries are of great importance to the government of Turkmenistan, and we want to expand relations between the two countries in all fields," he said.
Palestine, Afghanistan situation discussed
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also held talks with his counterpart from Turkmenistan.
After their meeting, he hailed the "very deep" ties between the two countries due to their shared cultural heritage.
In the meeting, Araghchi said they exchanged views regarding regional issues and developments in West Asia, including Palestine's situation.
"We are against forced displacement affecting the Palestinian people; it contradicts international principles as well as humanity’s values."
Araghchi noted that "good consultations" were also held about Afghanistan during their session.
Both parties agreed on the need to increase consultations regarding international issues alongside bilateral matters, according to Araghchi.
"We are trying to expand the relations between Iran and Turkmenistan as much as possible and in line with the interests of the two countries."
