President of Luxembourg’s Chamber of Deputies Mars Di Bartolomeo said the implementation of the nuclear pact between Iran and world powers on Saturday has laid a foundation for promoting world peace.
In a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran late on Sunday, Di Bartolomeo stressed on using the emerging opportunities to develop wide-ranging cooperation between Iran and European Union in line with their interests, IRNA reported.
On major areas of cooperation, the Luxembourg lawmaker pointed to threats posed by terrorism against the world, stating that terror groups are trying to cause divisions among the nations.
“We should be careful and stand united against them to root out terrorism,” he said.
The president described bilateral relations as “friendly and traditional”, saying that closer ties between the governments is to the benefit of both nations, while promoting parliamentary cooperation can help prepare the ground for broader exchanges.
Rouhani said the implementation of the deal allows for broadening cooperation between Luxembourg and Iran, while the two countries can engage in consultations on regional and international developments.
The president of the Luxembourg Chamber of Deputies arrived in Iran on Thursday at the head of a parliamentary delegation to hold talks with Iranian officials.
Di Bartolomeo also met Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to the Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on international affairs, and Chairman of Expediency Council Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
