Tomorrow, this nation will decide the quality of relations with the West, “Jahangirzadeh told the UK official.

He said Majlis Research Center has parliamentary relations with certain parliamentary research centers worldwide and is keen on cooperation with UK parliament.

Iranian official hoped that the UK diplomat would observe the democratic base of the Islamic Republic of Iran which is presence of the people on the scene.

The MP said that Iranian parliament is willing to upgrade parliamentary ties with the United Kingdom.

“Absolutely, growth of Iran-UK cooperation does not mean Iran will back down on its rational stance; rather, it is a must in today’s world, “he added.

He said that the Western governments are expected to take serious steps to remove misunderstandings.

“The current level of Iran-UK economic relations fell short of keeping up with the capacities of the two countries,” Jahangirzadeh concluded.
