Abbas Mousavi made the comment in a post on his official X account on Saturday after holding a meeting with Hikmet Hajiyev, foreign policy advisor to the president of Azerbaijan.
“We emphasized the need to open a new chapter in the relations between the two neighbors,” he said.
The Iranian ambassador said on Friday that Azerbaijan will reopen its embassy in Tehran soon.
In an interview with Baku TV, Mousavi said Iran and Azerbaijan have the same “historical background” and would not allow “misunderstandings” to sour their ties.
