In the context of international and regional events, the visit of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to Iran on the occasion of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani proved to be very important.

Armenian Ambassador to Iran, Artashes Tumanyan, told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am Monday. He also added that the Iranian side gave proper assessment to the relations with Armenia.

Apart from attending the inauguration ceremony, Armenian President also held a tête-à-tête with his Iranian counterpart. In particular, they discussed issues on regional and international security, which are very pressing today.

Furthermore, economic issues, including mutual investments and especially infrastructure projects in the sphere of energy and transport were discussed. The latter can become important not only for the two countries but also for the entire region, the Ambassador added.

Attention was attached to the talks on the agreement on preferential trade between the Eurasian Union and Iran. The leaders of the two countries expressed hope that the document will be signed in the near future.

In fact, a number of commodity headings from the common preferential list will prove to be important for the development of bilateral Armenian-Iranian trade.

''Armenia is one of the most active participants in the Iran-EAEU working group, considering our year-long experience of relations with Iran. I think the Iranian side should properly consider this activeness and its significance for the relations with the EAEU,'' Tumanyan noted.

The inauguration of President Hassan Rouhani took place on Sunday.
