(18) The Yemen.
233. Seyed Muhammad Zubara, Minister of Court of the Yemen, paid a
visit to Iran in August. He apparently came on his own initiative and, though
he was well received in Tehran as a distinguished visitor, the Ministry for Foreign
Affairs stated that no political significance was to be attached to his visit.
(E) International.
(1) League of Nations.
234. In 1935 M. Kazemi, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, attended the
January, May and September sessions of the Council in connexion with the
Irano-Iraqi dispute. In 1936, neither he nor his successor, M. Samiy, visited
Geneva at all.
235. In September the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Tehran and the
Iranian Minister in London drew attention to the proposal put forward by the
Iranian Government at Geneva that a new non-permanent seat on the Council
should be created and reserved for the States of the Near East. They asked that
His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom should support this proposal
and the candidature of Iran as the first incumbent of the new seat.
236. A woman was included for the first time in the Iranian delegation to
the Assembly.
237. The Iranian Government raised sanctions against Italy on the
15th July. The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs expressed to His
Majesty’s Charge d’Affaires the view that the policy of His Majesty’s Govern
ment in the United Kingdom had been right both in urging the imposition of
sanctions and in again taking the lead as regards their removal.
(2) Middle-Eastern Pact of Non-Aggression.
238. The Iranian Government remained anxious that the Middle-Eastern
Pact of Non-Aggression should be completed by the inclusion of Afghanistan and
signed. The Afghan Government agreed to participate mainly, it seems, because
there was no good reason why they should not. The Turkish Minister for Foreign
Affairs also wished to see the pact signed. The Iraqi Government, by taking the
view that it should, in logic, be signed only after an agreed settlement of their
frontier with Iran, were able to extract some diplomatic support from Turkey
over the frontier quarrel.
239. Eventually, the Iranian, Iraqi and Turkish Governments seemed at
one in wishing that the pact should be signed at latest by April 1937, but this was
left dependent on the prior achievement of the frontier settlement.
