Berlin, Nov 29, IRNA -- A spokeswoman for the Goethe Institute said
the German cultural center will not re-open its Tehran office
during the next year, citing the need for further planning.
"Surely we won't re-open next year," Julia Muhler told the
Protestant Press Service (epd) on Friday.
"We are approaching it with great care and hence there is no time
horizon," she added.
A cultural advisor of the Goethe Institute is currently in Tehran
to compile a "location analysis", according to Muhler.
The Goethe Institute was officially opened in 1958 but had to
cease its cultural activities in 1981 as a result of a political row
between Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
