Iran says EU’s Borrell to make surprise visit Friday

TEHRAN, 25 June 2022, (TON): Iran said European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell will travel to Tehran for discussions on efforts to revive the country’s 2015 nuclear deal.

Foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a statement “Borrell would arrive in the Iranian capital at night before meeting Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and other officials.”

The statement said “the visit, which is part of ongoing consultations between Iran and the European Union, will focus on bilateral relations, some regional and international issues, as well as the latest status of negotiations to lift sanctions.”

News of the previously unannounced visit comes after Amir-Abdollahian said last week that Iran still believes the negotiations can succeed.
