According to IRNA, the 16th Iran-Armenia Joint Economic Committee meeting was held in Tehran during June 30-July 2, 2019.



Iran and Armenia have been taking serious measures to boost their economic ties in line with the two countries' positive political relations.

Iran and Armenia, which have been in friendly relations for decades, began a new chapter in bilateral relations in 2018, as the two countries are taking steps in the direction of a strategic relationship. Iran was named as Armenia's 6th most important trading partner in 2017, but in 2018 Iran was promoted to Yerevan's fifth most important trading partner.

The 15th Joint Economic Committee meeting between Iran and Armenia was held in the Armenian capital city of Yerevan in February 2018.
