Visiting former German Chancellor made the remark in a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the Iranian capital on Tuesday, while announcing Germany’s readiness to participate in humanitarian acts and provide assistance to refugees.
He also referred to Iran and the 5+1 nuclear agreement, deeming the implementation of the JCPOA and the removal of sanctions a new chapter in Tehran-Berlin bilateral cooperation; “the nuclear accord proved that international issues can be resolved through negotiations and we can use it as a model for settling other issues, such as the current situation in Syria,” he added.
The German official then noted the existing capacities in his country’s economy, calling for the expansion of cooperation with Iran in various fields.
The Iranian President, for his part, maintained that with the approaching implementation day of the nuclear deal, Iran will be able to further improve its international relations.
