Iran and Italy share the will to expand bilateral ties in post-JCPOA era, and Iran is open to investment, technology and export cooperation, said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in his meeting with his Italian counterpart Sergio Mattarella.
On his first stop on a five-day European trip, President Rouhani arrived in Rome on Monday and was initially greeted by Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni at the international Rome Ciampino Airport and then was officially welcomed by Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
During the meeting with Mattarella, President Rouhani hailed the capacity of extensive bilateral cooperation between Tehran and Rome.
The unfair anti-Iran sanctions hindered the development of bilateral ties during the last years, lamented Rouhani saying that now is the time to compensate for and grow the interactions toward securing reciprocal interests.
