Tehran to host European Iranologists

Carlo Cherti visited Ghahraman Soleimani in Islamic Culture and Relations Organization.

The meeting was held in the wake of Soleimani's last week's trip to Italy to follow up the results of his talks with scientific and cultural figures especially Italian Iranologists.

Tehran's hosting of S.I.E's conference is regarded as one the most important decisions made by both sides.

Explaining plans and the outcomes of his trip to Italy, Soleimani called for more cooperation between both sides in fields like culture, archeology, Iranology and developing bilateral interactions.

Both sides agreed on Italy's multilateral presence in next round of Tehran Book Fair which will result in boosting cultural interactions between the two countries.

Italy also called for performing activities in art, music, cultural heritage, literature, science and technology with Iran's cooperation.

Other issues agreed in this meeting consisted of holding the commemoration ceremony of famous Italian Iranologists, holding Societas Iranologica Europaea conference in Tehran, developing academic cooperation between scientific and research centers, presenting written reports of Shahr-e Sukhteh, near Zabol city, presenting Persian manuscripts of Italy in Iran's museums, showing Italian big archeological plans in Iran, holding training workshops, increasing knowledge of translating from Persian to Italian and vice versa and developing Italian language and literature courses in higher educational level in Iran's universities.
