“We hope that after the administration of Rohani takes office, we will witness the enhancement of European countries’ cooperation and interaction with Tehran,” said Salehi at a Tuesday meeting with the outgoing Austrian Ambassador to Tehran Thomas Buchsbam.
Rohani emerged victorious in Iran's June 14 presidential election, which was marked by a high voter turnout. He won 50.7 percent of a total of over 36 million ballots counted.
Salehi also praised the long-standing friendly relations between Iran and Austria, adding, “There is no obstacle on the way of development and expansion of Iran-Austria ties.”
Buchsbam, for his part, praised Iran’s ample potential for mutual cooperation and expressed optimism that under the next administration of Rohani, Tehran-Vienna relations will witness further growth particularly in the economic, commercial and tourism sectors.
