He said Iran considers no limit for more cooperation with Azerbaijan, trying to upgrade cooperation in all dimensions.

He also emphasized joint campaign against extremism and terrorism in the region and said consolidation and cooperation between the two countries in various fields will be effective in regional security and stability.

Khalafov, thanking Iran for hosting the meeting of the representatives of the Caspian Sea states in Tehran and the Caspian Summit in 2016, said Iran and Azerbaijan are two important Caspian littoral states and the meeting will provide a suitable opportunity for reviewing mutual cooperation for development.
