Poland's Foreign Minister, Zbigniew Rau, has paid a visit to Iran for talks on areas of mutual interest
It's the second time in almost three years that Polish Foreign Minister, Zbigniew Rau, has visited Iran. His two day trip began with a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian.
The talks were held behind closed doors, but the two diplomats briefed reporters on the themes of the discussions, which ranged from economic ties to the Russo-Ukrainian war.
The Polish diplomat's trip comes on the 80th anniversary of the entry of Polish refugees into Iran during the thick of World War II.
In 1942, Iran was a major landing point for some 120,000 Polish refugees who were forced out of Poland by the Soviet Union.
Touching on the issue, the top Polish diplomat said Iran's hospitality created a cordial relation between the two nations.
The Polish foreign minister underlined the significance of the 2015 deal in bringing peace, calling on both Iranian and American officials to arrive at an agreement as soon as possible.
Poland sits on a geostrategically important part of Eastern Europe. It could act as a gateway for Iran to trade with other European states.
Iran can also act as a gateway for Polish trade with the Middle East. The two sides cited lack of knowledge as the main reason behind their low trade, hoping that this trip will set the start for broader economic ties.
After decades of uneventful relations, Tehran and Warsaw now are determined to begin a new chapter in their ties. And this visit by the Polish FM is seen as the first step toward stronger ties between the two countries; something which could redefine the course of many unresolved issues, from the fate of the 2015 deal to Iran's ties with the west.
