Shariatmadari stated that the presidents of the two countries in the telephone talks on Eid al-Adha once again emphasized the development of cooperation between the ministries and agencies of the two countries.

The official said: "In this framework, we are ready to continue exchanging views and consulting on a joint cooperation at various levels through video conferencing."

“The Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan have also opened their borders to land, rail and sea transport during coronavirus restrictions, which is a good sign of the political will to continue cooperation between the two countries,” he added.

Shariatmadari noted: “Given that the ending of the coronavirus is not clear, we welcome cooperation and exchange of experiences in this field, because this issue, in addition to health damage, has social and economic consequences.”

In this video conference, Sahil Babayev emphasized that the two countries, in addition to having a common border, have much in common in the field of history and music.

"Relations between the two countries have expanded in the form of investment and joint productions, but the volume of exchanges has decreased due to the spread of coronavirus. We follow the COVID-19 process in Iran and the world, and we will use Iran's experiences in the fight against this virus,” he highlighted.
