Earlier this month, the French embassy in Tehran announced in a statement that “Jean Yves Le Drian, minister for Europe and French foreign minister” will open the “Louvre in Tehran” exhibition with the presence of the head of Louvre Museum John Luke Martinez in the national museum of Iran on Monday.
The Louvre exhibition in Tehran will be open from 5 March to 8 June at the national museum of Iran.
The visit of the French FM is said to be sensitive and useful for Tehran as it is faced Trump’s new sanctions.
The Islamic Republic of Iran tries to reduce the effects of US sanctions and isolate the United States through its relations with European countries.

According to the report, France was the ninth exporter to Iran globally in 2017 and the third exporter after Germany and Italy.
After Italy, France is the second trade partner of Iran in the European Union.
