Cambodia to Dispatch Parliamentary Delegation to Iran


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - An adviser to Iran's parliament speaker said Saturday that a four-strong team of Cambodian lawmakers is planned to pay an official visit to Iran tomorrow.

Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency on Saturday, Hossein Sheikholeslam, the adviser of Iran’s parliament speaker for international affairs, announced that the Cambodian parliamentary delegation is scheduled to arrive in Tehran on Sunday for a four-day visit.

The delegation will be led by Cambodian Parliament Vice-Speaker Negonen Nehel, Sheikholeslam added.

The forthcoming visit will take place at the invitation of Vice-Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Hassan Abutorabifard.

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.
