Britain to reopen embassy
Print Edition
BRITAIN hopes to reopen its embassy in Iran this year, Foreign Minister Philip Hammond said yesterday.
“I very much hope we will be in a position to reopen our respective embassies before the end of the year,” he said after a deal was struck on Iran’s nuclear program.
Diplomatic relations were suspended and the British embassy was closed after Iranian demonstrators stormed the building in 2011.
Hammond said he has spoken to British finance minister George Osborne to ensure that the country is ready to capitalize on the “quite substantial” business opportunities that would arise from the deal agreement.
“I think Iran will want to use some of the unfrozen assets to address some really very large infrastructure deficits ... where the UK is very well placed to play a role,” he said.
