The Iranian judicial delegation, headed by Secretary of Iran’s Human Rights Council Mohammad Javad Larijani, will attend a three-day conference titled 'Protection of Human Rights in the Penal-Judicial System of Iran and Italy' in the Italian capital.
Larijani will meet several senior judicial, human rights and political officials of Italy during his visit to the European country.
On Thursday, Italian Parliament Speaker Laura Boldrini underlined Iran's important role in resolving regional crises, and called for the further broadening of ties between the two countries.
"Iran plays a very key role in restoring regional stability and campaign against extremist groups such as the ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)," Boldrini said in a meeting with Iranian Vice President and Head of Department of Environment Massoumeh Ebtekar in Rome.
She voiced her country's readiness to broaden bilateral relations and mutual cooperation in parliamentary, economic, cultural and scientific fields.
Ebtekar, for her part, briefed the Italian parliament speaker on the results of her two-day visit to Rome, and expressed her views on major challenges to the environment in the world and how to deal with them.
