In his congratulatory message to French President Emmanuel Macron, Rouhani expressed the hope that the level of bilateral, regional, and international relations between Tehran and Paris would further increase in future given the great potentialities for mutual cooperation.
The Iranian president also wished health and success for Macron and prosperity and happiness for the French nation.
July 14 is the French National Day — called La Fête Nationale in French — commemorating the day in 1789 when crowds stormed the Bastille, a fortress used as a prison in Paris. The event marks the beginning of the French Revolution.
