Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian will begin a two-day visit to Armenia and Belarus on Monday, his office confirmed.

Political adviser Mehdi Sanaei said the trip aims to boost bilateral ties, particularly in trade, and finalize cooperation agreements. The visit was initially planned for late June but postponed, Xinhua reported.

Pezeshkian’s stop in Armenia comes shortly after Yerevan and Baku signed a US-brokered peace deal on Nagorno-Karabakh, which includes a new transit corridor across southern Armenia. Tehran has voiced opposition to foreign involvement in the region, warning against any shift in its geopolitical balance or borders.
