France to ‘step up cooperation’ with Iran
The office of French President Francois Hollande confirms his phone call with Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani, saying the two discussed “conditions for implementing” the Iran nuclear accord.
The statement says the presidents agreed to “step up bilateral cooperation in this new context,” with Hollande “express[ing] the wish for Iran to contribute positively to the resolution of crises in the Middle East.”
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is due to visit Iran next Wednesday, hot on the heels of the German vice chancellor and economy minister, Sigmar Gabriel, who visited Tehran last week.
