French National Assembly president to visit Iran in mid-July
President of French National Assembly Claude Bartolone will pay an official visit to Iran to discuss ways of bolstering bilateral cooperation, months after the implementation of the nuclear agreement between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries started.
Bartolone will lead a delegation into Tehran on July 15 at the invitation of Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
During his four-day stay, the top French parliamentarian will hold talks with Larijani and other senior Iranian officials.
The visit will come in less than a month after Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif traveled to Paris and held meetings with French authorities, including President Francois Hollande, his counterpart Jean-Marc Ayrault, the president of National Assembly and Senate President Gerard Larcher.
Senior officials from Iran and many countries across the world exchanged visits after the Islamic Republic and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, France, Britain, China and Russia – plus Germany started implementing the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), on January 16.
Under the deal, all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran by the European Union, the Security Council and the US would be lifted. Iran has, in return, put some limitations on its nuclear activities.
