Iran finalizing key agreements with neighbors: Pezeshkian

According to The Iran Project, upon arrival in Tehran on Friday, Pezeshkian said his visit to Turkmenistan was of “special importance culturally and economically”, adding that it saw “significant talks” with other senior officials.

“We spoke with Turkmenistan’s leader about the agreements that we had. In these talks, understandings about gas, road, electricity and border markets were also reached. And these agreements are supposed to be finalized and signed in the joint economic working group that will be held in Tehran within the next month.”

Referring to his meeting with his Russia counterpart Vladimir Putin, the Iranian president said they discussed the agreements signed by the two countries and the acceleration of the implementation of projects relating to energy, the railway, desalination systems and petrochemicals.

He said the meeting also addressed “Russia’s role in the regional developments and the necessity of a more serious reaction to Israel’s crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.”

“It was agreed that neighboring countries should form their working groups with Iranian officials to increase the regional communications,” he said.

Noting that he also met with the presidents of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, Pezeshkian said, “The working groups of all these countries are scheduled to come to Iran and hold a meeting with [Iranian] officials.”

He hoped the meetings will yield actions that will “increase our connection with the region.”

The president said the expansion of cooperation with neighboring countries can resolve many problems and decrease the impact of sanctions imposed on Iran.
