The Philippine delegation specifically requested a mechanism which will allow Filipinos
in Iran who are detained or arrested to be able to contact the Philippine Embassy
as soon as possible and which will help the Embassy provide them prompt assistance.
The meeting kicked off activities to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the establishment
of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Iran, which were founded on
22 January 1964.
Approximately 3,800 Filipinos currently live in Iran, excluding some 2,000 workers
in Kish Island.
