Iranian President Hassan Rouhani held a press conference with Swiss President Johann Schneider-Amman on Saturday and informed reporters of various topics the two sides discussed during their bilateral meeting here in Tehran.
President Rouhani first noted the concurrence of President Schneider-Amman’s visit to Iran with the 2016 Parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections which draw millions of people to the ballot boxes on Friday and went on until late hours after midnight.
“One major principle that brings Iran and Switzerland close is believing in independence, national sovereignty, democracy, and this very election, all of which serve as the main pillars to these countries’ close ties,” said President Rouhani.
