Tehran, YJC. Head of Foreign Ministry’s Office in Qom says it is highly recommended that trade delegations visit Azerbaijan.
Speaking on Monday evening at the economic development
workgroup session in the Qom government office Hamid Makarem said "The Republic
of Azerbaijan as a Shiite country and culturally close to Iran and the province
of Qom is the best choice to conduct such relations with.”
The head of the Iranian foreign ministry office in Qom
province said "The Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, considering the country’s
situations, has asked the foreign ministry’s office in Qom about measures to be
made for a trade delegation from Qom to visit Azerbaijan.”
Makarem pointed to a recent trip by president Rouhani to
Azerbaijan as having laid grounds for more active political cooperation between
the two countries and said "No doubt, sending a trade delegation from the
province to Azerbaijan will be a positive step in strengthening the countries’
relations. It will also sooth sensitivities that the country’s officials hold
against the province of Qom.”
