Mogherini plans to visit Iran in spring
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said at the Munich
Security Conference on Friday that she would be glad to visit Iran
in spring 2016, Sputnik
reported.
According to Mogherini, during the visit she will be accompanied by
the delegation of European Commission members for discussion of the
bilateral EU-Iran relations, which have new perspectives following
removal of sanctions from Tehran.
In August 2015, Tehran and six international mediators, including
Russia, reached a historic deal on Iranian nuclear program, which
was set to ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program in
exchange for the termination of anti-Iran sanctions, in particular
in oil sector.
In mid-January, the sanctions were removed after the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verified Tehran’s compliance with the
nuclear agreement. The move makes it possible for Iran to develop
relations in different spheres with the European Union.
