TEHRAN -- A group of students from the University of Southern Denmark (Middle East Studies), paid a visit to the office of the Tehran Times daily and the Mehr News Agency here on Sunday afternoon.

Speaking with the staff, the 20-member team expressed their appreciation of Iranian culture and its great civilization.

The group’s leader told the Tehran Times that they find Iranians to be one of the most hospitable and gentle people in the world, and seeing women with education and holding high level posts has totally changed their views of the Islamic Republic. Obviously she was not aware that more than 70 percent of the university students in Iran are female.

Katrine Rasmussen noted, “We have now a different view of your country compared with others who know Iran through some Western media.”

Traveling to Iran was of great importance to most members of the group, Rasmussen explained, stating that “After visiting Turkey in the previous semester, our most preferred country was Iran due to its central role in the Middle East.”

The group arrived in Iran on October 8 and during their ten-day stay, they made short trips to Isfahan, Shiraz, and Qom provinces
