During the meeting held in Tehran on Monday evening, Sarmadi said that expansion of ties with European states in various spheres is on the agenda of Iran's foreign policy.
“Fortunately, the start of your mission has coincided with the opening of a new chapter in relations between the Islamic Republic and the European Union,” Sarmadi further told the Lithuanian diplomat.
He added that there are good grounds for closer cooperation between Iran and Lithuania in various areas, including energy, tourism, agriculture and investment.
Bruzga, for his part, pointed to the new opportunities to boost Tehran-Vilnius ties in the post-sanctions era and called for further cooperation between the public and private sectors of the two countries.
There has been a new wave of international interest in ties with Iran since Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) reached a conclusion over the text of a comprehensive 159-page deal on Tehran’s nuclear program in July 2015 and started implementing it on January 16.
The comprehensive nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), terminated all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran.
