Extract from Report on Affairs of A n glc^vft'ania n
Oil Company for quarter April- Juni
//i' v
There was a large number of visitors fco xib a dan during
the quarter. His Excellency the Indian Ambassador, Sayed
Ali Zahir, accompanied by his First Secretary Mr. Bannerji
and Treasurer Mr. Bhasin, arrived in Khorramshahr on the 8th
April. Arrangements for this visit were made by Mr. Bhasin
with a personal friend of his, Mr. Bell of the A.I.O.C.,
Station Superintendent in Khorramshahr, by telegram, prior
to my receiving official intimation. Mr. Bhasin had asked
for accommodation for the party in the Company 1 s Guest
House - Khazalieh - but this request was strongly resisted
by Ivor Jones when I spoke to him about it on the telephone.
I therefore suggested that His Excellency should stay with
me in the British Consulate, and the invitation was
accepted. Bannerji and Bhasin stayed with Mr. Bell in his
private house. The party left for Basra on the 11th and
for Tehran by Iranian Airways from Abadan on the 13th.
His Excellency made a point of seeing many of
nationals during his short stay here. Two large functions
were given in his honour, one at the Indian Association
Club at Khorramshahr and the other at the Indian Club in
Abadan. Further details of his visit were given elsewhere
in this report.
The Indian Ambassador’s visit was followed by that of
Major Hassan, the Pakistan Charge d’Affaires, who apparently
arranged for accommodation for himself in the Company’s
Guest House through the Company's representatives in
Tehran. His two-day visit was fully taken up by social
functions and he expressed his regret at not being able to
come into closer contact with his nationals here. Two
large receptions were held in his honour by the Pakistan
community in Abadan, and a cocktail party was given by the
Indian Association at Khorramshahr. Major Hassan stressed
the strong ties between the people of Pakistan and Iran,
and he exhorted his nationals to be loyal to their
employers.
