During the 68th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York late September, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and British Foreign Secretary William Hague instructed their deputies Majid Takht-e Ravanchi and Simon Gass to prepare the ground for reopening of embassies in London and Tehran.
On October 8, Hague called for appointment of non-resident charge d’affaires by Tehran and London in a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Zarif.
