The Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs
have been examining the question of creating a
Norwegian consular representation at the port of
Abadan in the Persian dulf, where a great number
of Norwegian ships, mostly tankers, are calling.
It has, however, been difficult to find
at the moment a suitable Norwegian applicant to
the post as honorary vice consul there. Pending
a solution of this question, it has been suggested
that the Britisii vice consul at Khorramshahr,
j situated 20 miles from Abadan, might temporarily
act as vice consul for Norway.
Acting under instructions, I have the
honour to apply for your kind intermediary with a
view that the British vice consul at phorramshahr
be asked to be good enough to declare himself
"^willing to act itermsgi*** vice confrulj and if so,
that the necessary permission may be granted him
to this effect.
The Bight honourable
Anthony Tden, P.C!.,
