Croatian Parliamentary Delegation Due in Tehran Saturday
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A parliamentary delegation from Croatia will start a five-day visit to the Iranian capital of Tehran on March 8, an adviser to Iran's parliament speaker said Friday.
Hossein Sheikholeslam, the adviser of the Iran’s parliament speaker for international affairs, told the Tasnim News Agency that the parliamentary team from Zagreb will be led by Chairperson of the Croatian Parliament Foreign Policy Committee Milorad Pupovac.
He said three other Croatian lawmakers and a number of the European country’s parliamentary experts will also accompany Pupovac in the upcoming visit, adding that they are expected to stay in Tehran for 5 days.
The forthcoming visit will take place at the invitation of Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Sheikholeslam noted.
Iranian parliament has in recent months intensified measures to strengthen ties with parliaments of the other countries, following President Hassan Rouhani’s announcement that his administration will adopt the policy of constructive interaction with the world.
Delegations representing the European Parliament (EP), Italy, South Korea and many others have paid official visits to the Islamic Republic over the past few months.
