The two nations plan to start publishing a joint academic journal, according to Pakayeen, as reported by Mehr News Agency.
Holding courses on Persian language and Iranian studies at Baku State University, training staff in new teaching methods, and joint projects in technology and nanotechnology were among other major areas discussed by the two men.
