Azerbaijan's embassy resumes its work in Iran

The Embassy of Azerbaijan to Iran resumed its work at a new address, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's press service reported.

The ambassador and the current diplomatic staff have returned to Iran.

As a country of accreditation, Iran has taken appropriate measures to ensure security in front of the new embassy building in Tehran in compliance with its obligation on diplomatic protection.

Currently, relevant measures are being taken to organize the consular service in the new Embassy building in Iran, and additional information on the restoration of the consular service will be provided soon.

The resumption of the Embassy’s work will contribute to the further development of Azerbaijan-Iran relations based on mutual respect and good neighborliness, the implementation of the agreements reached between the two countries, and the issues that need to be resolved.

Baku shut down its embassy in Tehran following an armed attack on the mission on January 27, 2023 that killed a staff member and injured two others.
