Top Russia, Hungary parliamentarians to visit Iran
The Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly Laszlo Kover and Russia's Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko will pay separate visits to Tehran to hold talks with senior Iranian officials.
Heading a high-ranking parliamentary delegation, Kover will arrive in Tehran on November 9 for a five-day trip at the official invitation of Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
The top Hungarian parliamentarian plans to meet the Iranian Parliament speaker, President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayyeb-Nia.
Matvienko will also arrive in Tehran on November 13 for a two-day trip at the invitation of Larijani.
She is scheduled to hold talks with the Iranian Parliament speaker, president and foreign minister about mutual relations.
Matvienko’s trip to Tehran will come as part of a series of visits between Iran and Russia following the implementation of last year’s nuclear agreement between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries.
Trade between the two countries during the first half of 2016 stood at USD 1.8 billion, almost 70 percent up from the same period last year.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China – plus Germany started implementing the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), on January 16.
Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related bans imposed against Tehran.
