Canadian Prime Minister: Keeping embassies closed in Iran and Venezuela puts us in an unfavorable position
Article body
Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, stated that in countries like Iran where Canada has no diplomatic presence, "we are in an unfavorable position." Canada severed its political and economic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran over a decade ago and closed its embassy in Tehran. The Iranian embassy in the Canadian capital is also closed, and the two countries communicate through interests protection arrangements.
