Azerbaijan and Iran will define priorities for cooperating in the area of postal services, Azerbaijani Communications and High Technologies Ministry told Trend on Aug. 14.
The ministry said that currently the two countries' agendas include the issues of cooperation in shipment of mail, postal money transfers, issue of postage stamps, and use of the countries' transit capacities for the mail delivery.
"The latter envisages creation of opportunities to deliver mail to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic by land," the ministry said.
Azerbaijan-Iran cooperation in the postal service will be consolidated by an agreement between the two countries' postal operators. The details of the agreement will be discussed at the two parties' forthcoming meeting in Iran.
