Visiting Iranian President
Hassan Rouhani tweeted Tuesday that Premier Matteo Renzi will
visit Iran sometime this year.
"Italian PM @matteorenzi will travel to Iran in the coming
months to boost economic ties. #ConstructiveEngagement" Rouhani
tweeted on what is the second day of his Italy visit.
Renzi and Rouhani signed 17 agreements on Monday evening.
"We signed the first agreements, but it's just the
beginning," Renzi said at a joint press conference with the
Iranian leader last night.
"There are sectors in which we can and must work more".
The Italian premier also said Iran "can play a key role in
the stability of the entire region" and that he has said so "to
all our friends in the region - from our Saudi friends to our
Israeli friends, to all those who seek peace in the region".
Rouhani responded that Iran "must create the conditions"
for Italian and European investors "because part of the Iranian
market offers itself to European investors, so that together we
can access the great market that surrounds us".
