Iran-Armenia Economic Commission Opens in Yerevan With Transport and Energy on the Agenda

Iran's Plan and Budget Organisation said the joint Iran-Armenia economic commission opened in Yerevan on Monday, November 9, 2026 (18 Aban 1405). Its head, Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi, said eight working groups on infrastructure, customs, trade, culture, health, industry, mining and technology would meet through Tuesday afternoon and that a bilateral cooperation document was due to be signed afterwards. No signed document had been announced when the report was published.

Pourmohammadi identified work on the Jolfa-to-Norduz road, a route built by Iranian contractors in Armenia, a new bridge over the Aras and expanded border and customs capacity as discussion points. He said Iranian contractors are working on a power link from Armenia to Iran and that Iranian supply of petroleum products to Armenia is also on the agenda; these are projects and negotiating topics, not completed agreements.
