Representatives of European Union to be sent to Tehran

The European Union will send a delegation to Iran, which is to perform the role of representatives of the EU via the Netherlands Embassy, local media reported.

‘‘As minister Jovad Zarif mentioned today in the press conference, there are some procedural issues to be fought internally in Iran, that we respect very much and we want everything to be smoothened properly; these are procedurals steps that need to be taken and I think that, I’m sure, the foreign minister and his ministry are taking care of that. In the meantime, as you said, we have decided to send first team that will be operating with the support and the help of the current presidency of the European Union. It’s a rotating presidency, in this moment it’s Netherlands holding it. And I cannot foresee timing, but I can tell you what the hopefully future EU delegation will do, which would be mainly to support and sustain all the work that, for instance, today we have decided to start on re-launching dialogue and cooperation on many different sectors,’’ Tasnim cites Federica Mogherini as saying.
