Visits to European countries on Iran's Foreign Ministry’s agenda
TEHRAN, May 31 (MNA) -- "The Foreign Ministry plans to organize visits to a number of European countries," Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told the website of the Iranian government in an interview published on Monday.
The details of the visits and the designated countries will be announced in the near future, he added.
On May 24, Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, announced that the European Union has suspended a travel ban on Iran’s foreign minister.
Salehi was placed on the sanctions list and banned from entering the EU in November 2009 due to his previous role as the director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, which is on the EU sanctions blacklist.
“Technically he stays on the list, but the application of the travel ban has been suspended,” Maja Kocijancic stated.
