Jahangiri also said the establishment of an EU office in Tehran is on the agenda of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, adding that the office can facilitate the implementation of agreements reached between the two sides.
Hogan, for his part, hailed his meeting with the Iranian agriculture minister on the same day and said Iranian banks should improve their standards to boost cooperation between the two sides.
Hogan is in Tehran at the head of a high-ranking EU delegation that comprises 70 members including some officials from Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission as well as representatives of some renowned companies from different European countries.
The visit comes against the backdrop of a new wave of interest in ties with Iran after Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) in July 2015 reached the nuclear deal and started implementing it in January 2016.
The comprehensive nuclear agreement terminated all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran.
However, Iranian officials have complained about the failure of the other side, especially the US, to fully implement the accord, as Iran still has problems in its banking transactions with other countries.
