IFP - Iran�s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandyan have discussed issues of mutual interest in a meeting in Yerevan.





During the Tuesday talks, the two sides highlighted the need for promotion of all-out economic relations between Iran and Armenia.

Zarif arrived in the Armenian capital earlier in the day at the head of a high-ranking political and economic delegation.

Upon arrival, Zarif told the IRIB News Agency that the Islamic Republic�s policy is based on developing its ties with all neighbouring countries, including Armenia.

He said Iran and Armenia have good economic relations with each other, but have not yet tapped into the existing potentialities.

�During the visit, I�m being accompanied by a very good business delegation, which includes great entrepreneurs. We are here to explore avenues for enhancing economic relations and resolve certain problems that hinder the implementation of some joint projects.�

Zarif also noted that Tehran has good cooperation with Yerevan in various fields, and expressed the hope that his visit would lead to expansion of ties and revival of collaborations between the two countries� private sectors.

Later on Tuesday, the Iranian top diplomat will also meet with Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan and President Serzh Sargsyan.
