Against the background of continuing UN and EU sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme, the UK has for some time not been actively promoting trade and investment with Iran. In line with this policy, with effect from 1 August 2008 the commercial team at the British Embassy in Tehran will be reduced to one locally-engaged member of staff, in the role of Business Liaison Officer.

The Business Liaison Officer will not undertake trade promotion activities, but will act as the Embassy’s point of contact for both the Iranian and the British business communities, as well as the Chambers of Commerce and other economic and commercial organisations in both countries. She will be able to respond to enquiries and/or to re-direct them as appropriate.

Contact details of the British Embassy Tehran Business Liaison Officer are as follows:
