TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Italian Environment Minister Gian Luca Galletti, who is in Tehran on an official visit, announced his country's readiness to boost mutual cooperation with Iran in the field of environmental protection and energy after the removal of anti-Iran sanctions.

He also pointed to his talks with Chitchian and Head of Iran's Environmental Protection Organization (IEPO) Masoumeh Ebtekar, saying that during the meetings, it was agreed that the two countries hold joint seminars and symposiums to pave the ground for closer environmental cooperation.
