Iranian First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri announced that the country plans to open a European Union (EU) office in the capital, Tehran, in a bid to boost bilateral relations between the Islamic Republic and the 28-nation bloc, according to Iranian Tasnim news agency.

Speaking at a meeting with EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Phil Hogan in Tehran, Jahangiri praised the security condition in Iran and said the country can be a reliable partner for the EU.

“Economic cooperation between Iran and the EU member states is age-old and almost all of the credible European companies have had an active presence in Iran’s economic fields, including energy, industry, and agriculture,” he noted.

Jahangiri also said the establishment of an EU office in Tehran is on the agenda of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, adding that the office can facilitate the implementation of agreements reached between the two sides.
