On Saturday, Rosato in a meeting with Supreme Leader's top aide Ali Akbar Velayati stressed Rome's enthusiasm for opening a new chapter of consolidated growing relations with Tehran.
"Italy looks at the relations with Iran through a special view and has had old and durable friendship with an important country like Iran," Rosato underlined.
The 10-member Italian delegation, headed by Rosato, arrived in Tehran on Saturday morning for a four-day visit.
The Italian delegation is scheduled to meet with Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, Chairman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi and other Iranian authorities, including a number of Foreign Ministry officials.
