[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Canada’s foreign minister said his country’s 2012 move to cut diplomatic ties with Iran has had no positive consequences whatsoever, expressing articulate willingness for re-engagement with the Islamic Theocratic Republic .
Canada"Canada’s severing of ties with Iran had no positive consequences for anyone: not for Canadians, not for the people of Iran, not for Israel, and not for global security," Stéphane Dion said on Tuesday while addressing an international conference at the University of Ottawa.
