Berlin and Tehran have begun "a new era" in their bilateral relations, Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said early Thursday at the end of a three-day trip to Germany.
"My visit was positive and important," Khatami said after his flight from Erfurt in eastern Germany landed in Tehran.
"I think that we have opened up a new era, which is in the interests of peace and stability throughout the world," he added.
"Good relations between Iran and Germany will have a positive effect on relations between Iran and the other European nations because Germany is, to a certain extent, the most powerful member of the European Union," said Khatami.
