Iranian Minister, Armenian President Confer on Mutual Cooperation
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Minister of Energy Majid Namjou and Armenia's
President Serzh Sargsian explored avenues for the further bolstering
of the two countries' mutual cooperation, specially in the energy
sector.
During the meeting on Saturday, the two sides stressed the importance
of maintaining their bilateral cooperation, particularly in the field
of energy.
The Iranian minister also submitted the invitation letter from Iran's
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Armenian president to participate
in the 16th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran.
The 16th NAM summit will be held on August 26-31 in the Iranian
capital city of Tehran.
Iran will assume the rotating presidency of the movement for three
years during the Tehran summit.
Namjou also held separate meeting with Armenia's Energy Minister Armen
Movsisian, and voiced Tehran's preparedness to remove the obstacles in
the way of the implementation of joint water and electricity projects.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have signed
agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to cooperate in technology
and research and to enhance ties in commerce and economy.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
Serzh Sargsian pledged in December 2011 to further expand "high-level
relations" between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus
to the implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
schedule.
