Norway closes embassies in Saudi Arabia and Jordan to public over security reasons


"We have limited public access by closing down, for example, the consular sections (in Riyadh and Amman)," Norwegian Foreign Ministry spokesman Frode Andersen said on Monday.

“Around 15 Norwegian embassies in the Middle East and North Africa … will have limited public access,” he added. Andersen noted that the consulates will continue their operations via other means of communication, saying, "The embassies are not closed down. We keep working, and communicate by telephone and mail." .... http://www.presstv.ir
