Ali Asadov, for his part, said that it is very gratifying that despite the closure of the borders, the citizens of the two countries were able to return to their countries, and some 120 Iranian citizens are scheduled to return home through the Astara border on Friday.
He described the development of cooperation between Tehran and Baku in the field of energy as satisfactory, saying that the two countries should expand the bilateral ties more.
Despite the restrictions due to coronavirus, there was an increase in transit volume between the two countries on the North-South and East-West corridors, he said, adding that the Republic of Azerbaijan has always focused on the issue of transportation and transit.
Referring to the negotiations between the experts of the two countries for the construction of the Astarachay Bridge, Asadov said that the project will be started in early June.
