Iran has not appointed an ambassador to Egypt
TEHRAN, April 20 (MNA) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast did not confirm the reports saying that Iran and Egypt have agreed to open embassies in each other’s countries in the near future and that Tehran has even appointed an ambassador to Cairo.
“I think the reports regarding the appointment of an ambassador or other measures are based on assumptions,” Mehmanparast stated during his weekly press briefing on Tuesday.
However, in light of the developments that have taken place in Egypt, Iranian and Egyptian officials have announced their readiness to reestablish ties, the Foreign Ministry spokesman added.
Khazaii did not hold bilateral talks with Egyptian officials
On the trip to Egypt that the Iranian envoy to the United Nations made last week, Mehmanparast said that Ambassador Mohammad Khazaii traveled to Egypt to participate in a meeting organized by the UN, and “no framework for bilateral talks was defined in the visit.”
