The Minister for Foreign Affairs to His Britannic Majesty's Minister.
V>4e Ministre,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of
to-day informing me of the decision taken by your Government to transfer the
headquarters of the British Resident and consul-general at Bushire to a site outside
the dominions of His Imperial Majesty the Shah. In that note you also inform me
of the desire expressed by your Government, with a view to ensuring the close
co-operation of the British and Persian authorities in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, that this
official should be accorded every facility for visiting British consular posts in the
Persian ports of the Gulf.
In reply I have the honour to inform your Excellency that my Government will
accord to the inspecting consul-general and to his staff the required facilities : they
agree, in particular, that these persons shall enjoy on all occasions unrestricted access
to British consular posts in the Persian ports of the Gulf, and they will make the
necessary arrangements for the annual grant to them of a free visa valid for at least
a year.
With regard to the last paragraph of your note under reference, I am authorised
to confirm that a simple notification, given as far as possible in advance to the local
authorities, will suffice to enable His Britannic Majesty’s warships and the ships of
the Royal Indian Marine stationed in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
, together with the vessels of
the auxiliary fleet, to put in at Bushire.

Mon cher Ministre, Teheran, le 4 octobre 1930.
J'AI eu le plaisir de recevoir votre aimable lettre du l er octobre, a laquelle vous
avez bien voulu joindre trois documents relatifs au chemin de fer de Dozdab, aux
telegraphes et a la question de la Residence de Bouchir.
En attendant que j’aie eu le temps de les etudier pour pouvoir vous exposer le
point de vue de mon Gouvernement sur ces trois questions, je m’empresse de vous
exprimer mes remerciements et de vous assurer que je n’ai jamais doute de la bonne
volonte ni de votre Excellence ni du Gouvernement britannique. C’est meme cette
bonne volonte, a laquelle je rends hommage, qui me fait esperer que nous finirons
par nous entendre a propos des quelques difficultes que nous avons encore a aplanir.
En vous renouvelant mes remerciements, je vous prie, &c.
M. A. FEROUGHI. .
