Iranian FM, Azeri Leader Hold Talks in Baku
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian met with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in Baku on Wednesday.
The top Iranian diplomat has traveled to the Republic of Azerbaijan to attend a ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
Amirabdollahian held talks with the Azeri president on the sidelines of the conference in Baku on Wednesday.
In April, Amirabdollahian and his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhoun Bayramov held two rounds of intensive talks about ways to settle the problems and correct misunderstandings between the two countries, with both emphasizing the importance of mutual respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the two states.
Later in June, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said Tehran and Baku have held several rounds of talks to mend the strained relations between the two neighbors following a January fatal attack on the embassy of Azerbaijan in Tehran.
An armed attack on the embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan killed a staff member and injured two others on January 27.
The Baku government shut down its embassy in Tehran afterwards.
