During his visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran, RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Gnel Sanosyan met with Iran's Energy Minister Ali Akbar Mehrabyan.

Several issues of bilateral cooperation in the energy field were discussed during the meeting.

In particular, regarding defining new ways of cooperation, increasing the volume of electricity exports, and completing the construction of the third line of Iran-Armenia power transmission as quickly as possible, which will make it likely to increase the volume of gas imported to Armenia under the Gas-for-Electricity program and the importance of electricity exported from Armenia.
