TEHRAN, Dec. 3 (MNA) � Iran�s FM spokeswoman has said it is too soon for opening Iran and UK embassies in Tehran and London.
Mehr new quoted Marzieh Afkham in her weekly press conference. �Iran�s non-residing charge d'affaires will leave for London heading a delegation to visit Iran�s political buildings in London and will examine the possibilities of providing consular services in Britain,� told Afkham.

Commenting on British non-residing charge d'affaires she said that he would enter Tehran to visit British political building, and �he will meet with Iran�s foreign ministry officials.�

Asked by Mehr News correspondent when the two countries� embassies would be opened, Afkham told that Iranian-British relations had been in the agreed path based on a step-by-step progress. �Given the nature of our relations, it is too soon for embassies to be opened in Tehran and London,� Afkham added.

�Non-residing charges d�affaires are still in the initial stage of their career, preparing for the final stage. Iran and Powers expert-level meeting will be held in December 9 and 10 in Vienna, Austria, to implement the joint Action Plan,� said Afkham. �The IAEA officials will also attend the meeting as supervisors.�

The foreign ministry spokeswoman added that the supervising body of the IAEA in Iran and Powers expert-level meeting was intended to provide a good understanding of the Action Plan. She pointed to Western sabotage in the way of implementation of the agreement. �We wait the agreement to take effect. If Powers do not implement the agreement, we will roll back the changes in our nuclear program,� she said.

In response to a Mehr News question about Iran�s position on US-Afghanistan security agreement, and whether it was an internal affair of Afghanistan, she said that Iranian officials had meetings with Afghan officials about the implementation of the security accord and �we communicated our positions to Afghan authorities.� �The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that signing of the agreement would not serve Afghanistan�s long-term interests, wielding a negative impact on the whole region. We hope that ultimate decision is for the benefit of Afghan people,� Afkham said, and that �Hamid Karzai will visit Tehran next week.�
