Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev spoke by phone with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on 31 January, as both sides exchanged views on regional tensions and the future of their cooperation.
Officials highlighted the long trail of historical, ethnic and religious ties running between the two nations, ties that leaders often bring up when regional uncertainty sharpens the need for calm channels of communication.
Both presidents recalled their recent meetings and the talks they held during visits to Azerbaijan, describing the discussions as productive and beneficial for bilateral relations.
Progress on the road bridge project across the Araz River, linking the Aghband-Kelaleh checkpoints, was noted with some satisfaction, with construction moving ahead in line with the agreed timetable.
Aliyev voiced concern about the situation unfolding in the region and said Azerbaijan is ready to help ease tensions, reiterating that dialogue and mutual understanding remain the preferred means of resolving complex issues.
Pezeshkian thanked Aliyev during the call, and both leaders agreed to keep communication open as they look toward the next steps in their cooperation.
