The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is hopeful that trilateral meetings between Iran, Azerbaijan and Russia will extend in the future, the Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said.
Qassemi also raised the possibility that Iran may host the event next year.
“The previous meeting was held in Baku. The next meeting can take place in Tehran next year,” Trend cited him as saying.
He added that it is too early to pass an idea about the exact date and agenda of the meeting.
The Republic of Azerbaijan hosted the first meeting of the presidents on August 8, 2016. Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran said in a declaration that they would pursue a comprehensive development of equal and mutually beneficial cooperation. They also pledged to intensify and expand the political dialogue on various levels and on all issues of mutual interest, and also extend it into the spheres of culture, tourism and business.
