IranMania News: "The US Library of Congress head has signed an agreement to exchange resources with the National Library of Iran during a rare visit by a US official, the Iranian library's director said Friday.
'We signed a memorandum of understanding to exchange resources and experiences in library science, Islam and Iran,' Mohammad Kazem Mousavi Bojnourdi told AFP.
AFP reported, librarian of Congress James Billington's visit came as Iranians celebrated the 25th anniversary of the November 1979 seizure by Islamic students of the US embassy in Tehran, after which diplomatic ties were severed.
'Anyone who sees this cultural act as political is making a mistake,' Bojnourdi said."
