Austrian president, FM to visit Iran in September

TEHRAN, Jul. 19 (MNA) – Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz announced planning a visit to Tehran within next two months along with President Heinz Fischer.

“I will accompany President Fischer during his visit to Iran in September,” Kurz said on Saturday.

Fischer's visit to Iran is the first official visit of a western president during past years.

The Austrian president’s spokesman said that the exact date of President Fischer’s visit to Iran has not been set as yet and it will probably be announced next week.

Austria, a neutral European Union member, was for centuries a bridgehead for Iran to Europe.

There have been friendly relations between Iran and Austria during past years and, on many occasions, the two countries’ officials have stressed expansion of mutual cooperation between the two nations in various fields.
