Senior Egyptian official due in Tehran: Businessman

A director general in Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities is to visit Iran at the head of a delegation in forthcoming days, an Iranian official has announced.

Hormatollah Rafiei, the head of the board of directors of the Iranian Air Travel and Tourism Offices, made the announcement at a press conference in Tehran on Sunday.

In his remarks, the official referred to the symbolic launch of a direct flight between Tehran and Cairo soon.

As he said, Iraq mediated Iran-Egypt talks on the expansion of tourism cooperation.

As long as Iran does not have a consulate in Egypt, the travels to that country will be made through Iraq, Rafiei noted.

A few days ago, on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said the Islamic Republic welcomes normalization of relations with all Islamic countries, including Egypt and Morocco.
