Tehran, July 27 /Xinhua/ — Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned the French ambassador to the country in protest against “interference in the internal affairs” of the Islamic Republic following the incident involving the brief detention of two French diplomats. This was announced on Monday by the official spokesman of the ministry, Esmail Baghaei.
It is reported that French diplomats were detained on July 19 in Tehran on charges of actions violating the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, namely interference in internal affairs under the guise of working with civil society.
“Yesterday the French ambassador in Tehran was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where it was emphasized that the French government must cease such actions and such interference in Iran’s internal affairs under deceptive labels,” said E. Bagai. The actions of the French diplomats “were completely unjustified,” he added.
