Imam Khamenei tells Turkmen president Iran’s policy is expanding ties with neighbors

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, in a meeting with visiting Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedow on Wednesday, hailed the Iranian government’s policy of expanding relations with neighbors as a good policy.

Accompanied by a delegation, Berdimuhamedow arrived in Tehran on Tuesday afternoon on an official two-day visit intended to sign long-term cooperation agreements with Iran.

President Ebrahim Raeisi officially welcomed the Turkmen president on Wednesday morning, after which the two chief executives oversaw the signing of nine memoranda of understanding (MoUs) to broaden bilateral cooperation in different fields.

After the signing ceremony, Berdimuhamedow met with Ayatollah Khamenei, who said the deepening of bilateral relations would benefit the two nations.

“The policy of the administration of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to expand relations with neighboring countries, and this is a completely correct policy,” the Leader noted.
