The Swiss embassy in Tehran reopened today after being temporarily closed on June 20 due to instability in Iran.
Ambassador Nadine Olivieri Lozano and a small team returned to Tehran on July 5, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) said in a statement.
According to the FDFA, the decision to resume operations followed a comprehensive risk assessment.
The current conditions allow for a gradual resumption of embassy activities on site, the FDFA noted. However, consular services, including the issuing of visas, remain suspended for the time being.
Switzerland continues to closely monitor developments in the region and remains in regular contact with its international partners, the FDFA added.
