Iranian lawmakers to visit UK to discuss embassy reopening

A delegation of Iranian parliamentarians is expected to head to the UK capital, London, in the near future for talks on full reopening of the British embassy in Tehran, a lawmaker says, Press TV reports.

Head of the Iran-Britain Parliamentary Friendship Group Abbas Ali Mansouri Arani said Sunday that the delegation would pay a visit to London in the coming months upon both verbal and written invitations from the British side.

According to Arani, Richard Bacon, the vice chairman of the Britain-Iran Parliamentary Friendship Group, verbally invited Iranian lawmakers to visit London during his short stay in Tehran, where he attended a conference on fighting extremism earlier this month.
