Speaking at a meeting with Chairman of the Oireachtas (Irish National Parliament) Foreign Affairs and Trade Committee Pat Breen in Tehran on Saturday, the top Iranian diplomat underlined that the trips of European countries' delegation to Iran indicate “the willingness of both sides in the current political atmosphere to expand their relations".
He also said there are enormous potentials in Iran in different fields, namely trade, which provides suitable ground for the enhancement of relations between the two sides.
A delegation from the Irish parliament led by Breen arrived in Tehran on Friday morning to discuss ways to expand bilateral ties.
On Wednesday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for European and American affairs Majid Takht Ravanchi said Iran's friendly interactions with the world nations and the country's lucrative market have encouraged many courtiers, specially in the West, to seek an all-out expansion of their relations with Iran.
The Iranian officials added that two high-ranking delegations from Poland and Sweden plan to travel to Iran in near future but no exact date has yet been fixed for the visits.
Earlier this month, Former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema was in Tehran and had a series of meetings with high-ranking Iranian officials, including Expediency Council Chairman and former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
