ICT Minister Mahmoud Vaezi is slated to travel to Azerbaijan April 20 for a two-day stay which includes attending the bricklaying ceremony.
Vaezi is also the Iranian co-head of the Iran-Azerbaijan economic cooperation commission and is leading a high-ranking delegation to Azerbaijan.
The bridge is part of the North-South corridor that connects Europe to India by passing through Azerbaijan and Iran, lessening shipment time from 40 to 14 days end-to-end.
Vaezi will also discuss with Azerbaijani side the implementation of a dozen of agreements signed between the two countries during an official visit to Tehran by Azerbaijan`s President Ilham Aliyev earlier this year.
The sides will also sign two contracts during the Iranian delegation`s visit, Malek said, refraining from providing details.
