Italian Parliamentary Delegation Due in Iran This Weekend


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Italian parliamentary delegation is scheduled to pay a visit to Iran this weekend to hold bilateral meetings with the senior Iranian lawmakers.

The visit will come at the invitation of the Chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi.

The delegation will be led by the Chairman of Italian Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee Pier Ferdinando Casini and will arrive in Tehran on May 3.

Earlier on January 3, an Italian parliamentary delegation, led by Casini, started a three-day visit to the Iranian capital city of Tehran.

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.
