Paris: French President Francois Hollande has conferred with his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani on "conditions for implementing" the Iran nuclear accord, Hollande's office said Thursday.
They also agreed to "step up bilateral cooperation in this new context," the presidency said in a statement.
Hollande "expressed the wish for Iran to contribute positively to the resolution of crises in the Middle East," it added.
The 10-year agreement calls for a lifting of sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy in exchange for measures to ensure Tehran does not build nuclear weapons.
His trip follows a similar visit by German Economy Minister and Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, who was the first top Western official to visit the country since the deal was struck.
The visit will take place from September 7 to 9.
