Bangladesh condemns attack on Saudi embassy in Tehran

Xinhua, January 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

Bangladesh has condemned the attack on the embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Tehran and another attack on its consulate in the Iranian city of Mashhad.

Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement Wednesday said, "Bangladesh condemns the recent attacks on the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Tehran and its Consulate in Mashhad as such acts are in clear violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963."

"It is the responsibility of the host government to accord necessary protection to the diplomatic and consular missions within its jurisdiction as these are inviolable under the international law," said the statement.

Bangladesh calls upon Iran to take urgent necessary measures to stop recurrence of such incidents. Endit
