: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called on Thursday for a new relationship with France as he met business leaders on a trip to Paris to revive economic ties after sanctions on his country were lifted.
-"We are ready to turn the page-" and establish a -"new relationship between our countries-", Rouhani said at a meeting organised by the Medef employers' association.
-"Let us forget the resentment,-" he said, calling for all sides to take advantage of the -"positive atmosphere-" after the removal of the sanctions.
