President Rouhani Arrives in Rome Accompanied by Petroleum Minister

TEHRAN, Jan. 25 (Shana) – Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh arrived in Rome on Monday along with top-ranking officials in President Hassan Rouhani’s entourage.

The four-day state visit, the first by an Iranian head of state after implementation of the nuclear Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA), will also take Rouhani and his delegation to Paris for expansion of bilateral ties with European countries after removal of anti-Iran sanctions.

Negotiations will reportedly focus on bilateral relations as well as regional developments as Iranian and European statesmen in Rome and Paris are expected to confer and sign agreements and contracts on energy, economic, industrial and trade relations.

Prior to his departure, Zangeneh had been receiving numerous delegations headed by European counterparts, CEOs, business people and industrialists  in the field of energy including ENI and Total who expressed their interest to cooperate in Iran’s oil, gas, and petrochemical industry.

Majority of the meetings took place following the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers last summer in Vienna.
