Iran, Canada start talks to renew ties

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion has confirmed to CBC News that preliminary contact has been made.
In 2012, the Harper administration cut ties with Tehran and expelled Iranian diplomats from Canada.
“Talks have started, yes, at the official level,” Dion said Friday. There has been speculation the discussions took place in New York City, where the two countries have political delegations.
“I will not comment,” the foreign minister said when asked about a possible location. “But the usual way by which countries who want to recreate links proceed, is step by step, at the official level in neutral territory.”
