Barzani commends growing Tehran-Erbil ties under Pezeshkian
Addressing the sixth edition of Tehran Dialogue Forum (TDF) in Iran’s capital, Barzani said relations between the two sides, especially in the field of economy, have seen significant progress after a visit by Pezeshkian to the Kurdistan Region in last September.
He described an expert-level meeting which is scheduled to be held in the northwestern Iranian city of Sanandaj in the near future as one of the main achievements of the Pezeshkian’s trip.
Barzani said the Iranian president really believes that the countries of the region should further cooperate and help each other.
“We are witnessing expansion of Iran's relations, especially with the Kurdistan Region, after he (Pezeshkian) came to power as the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran”, Barzani said.
He also said that his territory will not become a “source of threat” to neighboring Iran, stressing that great steps have been taken to secure the common borders.
“One of our key principles is not to allow the Kurdistan Region to become a base for threatening our neighbors, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said.
