TEHRAN – Political analyst Fereydoun Majlisi has said opening a European Union office in Tehran can help boost economic relations between Iran and the EU member states. 

“In the current situation and with regard to Iran’s need to expand its international ties, the opening of a European Union office can be a positive step to expand interactions between Iran and the EU member states,” ISNA on Tuesday quoted Majlisi as saying.

He further emphasized the need to boost Iran-EU relations, saying the EU is one of the most important international blocs in terms of politics and economy.

“Instead of empty rhetoric, those who oppose this issue should express their arguments if they have any,” he added.
