Qalibaf meets Danish, Swedish ambassadors
Tehran Times Political Desk
TEHRAN -- In separate meetings Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf met Danish and Swedish ambassadors to Tehran on Monday.
In the meeting with Thomas Christenssen, the Danish ambassador stated that Tehran and Copenhagen can cooperate in the political, economic, and civil fields.
Christenssen invited Qalibaf to attend the “Alternative Climate Conference” to be held on Dec. 14-17, in which mayors from 700 of the world’s largest cities will be in attendance. This conference will run simultaneously with the UN Climate Change Conference, in which heads of states will attend.
In his reply Qalibaf hoped his travel to Copenhagen will provide the field for further mutual ties.
He said that the Tehran municipality’s most important programs are the environmental issues, eco-friendly industries and the electronic city. “These issues are also influential in traffic and the air pollution”, Qalibaf added.
In another meeting with the Swedish Ambassador, Magnus Werndstedt said that he appreciates the efforts being made in Tehran regarding IT and Swedish companies can share their experiences.
For his turn, Qalibaf noted that Tehran welcomes to receive Stockholm municipality’s experience in “crisis management” and “disaster assistance and rescue training”
