TEHRAN, Mar 17 (NNN-IRNA) – A senior Iranian diplomat said yesterday that, Iran will soon send its ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Ali Bagheri Kani, Iranian deputy foreign minister for political affairs, said that, Iran has appointed the envoy, and the process of dispatching him to Abu Dhabi is going through its final stages.
Kani made the remarks as Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani held talks yesterday, with UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and National Security Adviser, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during a visit to the UAE.
