France, Iran to Reinforce Cooperation Following Vienna Accord: Elysee

PARIS - French President Francois Hollande and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani both agreed to reinforce bilateral cooperation following the conclusion of the agreement in Vienna, said Thursday Hollande's presidential office, the Elysee, in a press release.

During a telephone conversation, Hollande and Rouhani examined the conditions of the implementation of the Vienna accord, and agreed to reinforce the bilateral cooperation to assure the implementation of the accord.

The two presidents welcomed the Iranian nuclear agreement concluded on July 14.

The Elysee also announced in the press release that French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius will visit Iran on July 29.

"I will be there next week. My colleague (Mohammad Javad Zarif)  invited me. I was invited before but didn't go, but now I think everything is in place for me to go," Fabius told France Inter radio on July 21.

"I find it quite normal that from the moment this historic agreement took place, France and Iran can resume more normal relations," he said.(Xinhua)
