Austrian president announces Iran trip

VIENNA — The office of Austrian President Heinz Fischer says he will in September make the first visit to Iran by a European head of state since 2004.

The announcement comes nine days after an agreement was reached in VIenna on Iran’s nuclear program.

“After the success of the Vienna accord on July 14, 2015, concluding several years of nuclear talks, President Heinz Fischer will make a working visit to Iran from September 7 to 9,” the presidency says.

Germany’s Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel has already visited Tehran since the agreement was signed, and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is heading to Iran next week.
