The appointment of Irans first female ambassador is still on the agenda of the Foreign Ministry and will be realized shortly, Iranian deputy foreign minister Hassan Ghashghavi told Shargh newspaper on Monday.
Appointing a female ambassador was one of the promises of Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif but he didnt speak of the issue seriously in the last two years.
However, after the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, it seems that Irans Foreign Ministry is going to fulfill some promises it made to women.
A few Months ago, several media announced that the Iranian government will appoint a woman to a post of ambassador for the first time since the beginning of the Islamic Republic in 1979.
It was reported In April that Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham would be appointed as an ambassador, thus earning the title of the first -and so far the only- Iranian female ambassador abroad.
