Azerbaijan, Iran interested in expanding cooperation in ICT sphere

Iranian Communications and Information Technology Minister Reza Taghipour during a meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ali Abbasov expressed satisfaction with the level of cooperation between countries in the ICT sphere, and also stressed the prospects for its expansion in the spheres of postal service, Internet and other areas.

Abbasov said that Azerbaijan is also interested in expanding cooperation between countries in the ICT sphere.

Azerbaijan cooperates with Iran in the field of postal service under a memorandum signed on March 10, 2009 in Tehran between the Azerbaijani Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies and the Iranian Information and Communications Ministry.

At present, Azerbaijan and Iran are testing a money transfer system STEFI (Secured Transfer of Electronic Financial Information).

Azerbaijan and Iran already have a tentative agreement on cooperation in the field of money transfer, international mail, ground mail to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through Iran, and on the joint publication of postage stamps.

The agreement envisages holding regular bilateral meetings.
