Letter to Mr Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Head
of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Commission, Islamic
Consultative Assembly from the Chairman of the Committee
May I congratulate you on your election as Chairman
of the National Security and Foreign Affairs Commission of the
Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran. I, too, was newly elected
to my post as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
House of Commons in 2005 and I have been pleased already to make
the acquaintance of many of my counterparts from other Parliaments.
It would, therefore, be of considerable interest
to me and my colleagues to be able to meet you and other members
of your Committee, and indeed other members of the Majlis, if
you were able to visit London. There are many matters of great
importance to British and Iranian parliamentarians which I and
other members of the House of Commons wish to discuss with our
counterparts from Tehran.
I hope it will be possible for you to visit the United
Kingdom Parliament in the near future.
Mike Gapes MP
Chairman of the Committee
8 March 2006
