He was very successful in his scientific and diplomatic activities and he was promoted to the position of Iran’s minister in London. In his last mission, he served as the Iranian minister in Tokyo. Avenskhān who is considered as one of the first outstanding literary and scientific translators from English to Persian was also very active and brilliant in formal and official services and he was admired by everyone especially by his superiors.
