EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that she would be glad to visit Iran in spring 2016.

MUNICH (Sputnik) � According to Mogherini, during the visit she will be accompanied by the delegation of European Commission members for discussion of the bilateral EU-Iran relations, which have new perspectives following removal of sanctions from Tehran.

In August 2015, Tehran and six international mediators, including Russia, reached a historic deal on Iranian nuclear program, which was set to ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program in exchange for the termination of anti-Iran sanctions, in particular in oil sector.

In mid-January, the sanctions were removed after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verified Tehran�s compliance with the nuclear agreement. The move makes it possible for Iran to develop relations in different spheres with the European Union.
