"Japan Week" will be held in Tehran sometime around October, becoming the first large-scale cultural event to be staged by Japan in Iran since the Islamic Revolution nearly two decades ago, Foreign Ministry sources said March 18.
The decision has been made in response to an easing of regulations on cultural activities in the Persian Gulf nation under new President Mohammed Khatami and reflects a strong Japanese desire for the further development of friendly bilateral relations, the sources said.
