(9 Mar 2014) Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, met the Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on Sunday in Tehran, following separate meetings with Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian President, and Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Iranian Foreign Minister.
Ashton arrived in Tehran on Saturday night on her first visit to the Islamic Republic as nuclear talks with world powers continue.
Ashton leads the six-nation group - the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany - in talks with Iran over Tehran's nuclear programme.
Iranian media say the visit signals the normalisation of Iran's relations with Europe after eight years of tension under Rouhani's predecessor, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Iran struck an initial deal with world powers on November 24 to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for an easing of sanctions.
Negotiations for a final deal are ongoing.
