Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) said that some countries have sold their national security to the will and decision of transregional governments and believe that the United States can guarantee their survival.

Speaking in a meeting with Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Tuesday Ogtay Asadov, Ali Shamkhani considered the joint great cultural, civilized, religious, linguistic and ethnic ties between the two countries to be a unique investment for the development and expansion of relations that could benefit the region. 

Expressing that the borders of the two countries are the frontiers of peace and friendship, he added, 'There are numerous capacities to increase the level of trade between the two countries, which accelerating its activation can lead to the prosperity, stability and security of the two countries.'

The secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran pointed to the efforts and actions of some countries opposing friendly relations between the two countries in order to strike at the strong ties between Tehran and Baku and added, 'The security of the countries of the region is collectively secured by adopting common approaches and holding talks as well as close interactions.' 

Shamkhani said that some countries have sold their national security to the will and decision of transnational nations and believe that the United States can guarantee their survival, while the only way for governments to continue is relying on national capacities and popular support.

Asadov, who traveled to Iran at the head of a parliamentary delegation, in this meeting called the talks with the Iranian authorities effective and said, 'The Republic of Azerbaijan is keen to increase all-round exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, and welcomes the initiatives and suggestions presented here.'
