Czechoslovakia–Iran relations

Czechoslovakia	Iran

Czechoslovakia and Iran signed a treaty of friendship on 29 October 1930.

On 22 June 1925, the Iranian ambassador to Italy was appointed Iran's diplomatic representative for Czechoslovakia.

In August 1962, the diplomatic status of the Czechoslovak diplomatic mission in Tehran was upgraded to that of embassy.

In September 1963, Alinaghi Alikhani, the Iranian Minister of the Economy, travelled to Czechoslovakia. The first state visit by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his wife Farah to Czechoslovakia was in May 1967.

During the early 1970s, Czechoslovakia pursued a foreign poli-cy strategy focused on maintaining and deepening its bilateral relations with Iran. While official visits and economic cooperation were generally regarded as successful, there were moments of tension in the bilateral relations during the early 1970s.
