Whether they will insist that in any dialogue between the European Union and Iran the questions of human rights, terrorism and the Middle East peace process be included in the agenda. [HL2526]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThe new EU/Iran dialogue will be comprehensive, covering issues of both mutual interest and areas of concern.
