3. Biodata:
Hassan Sooroosh holds a Master of Arts in Public Policy: International Development Studies from the Japanese National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and has conducted research on a variety of topics including on regional economic cooperation issues.

Sooroosh said he and his staff are still working and committed to representing the people of that country, despite its new government. Soroosh said the work he and embassy staff are doing, however, has become difficult. They have not communicated with the Taliban and since their takeover of the country, the embassy's finances have become strained. Operations have needed to be scaled down at their missions across Canada, he said.(20211103)

Ambassador Soroosh is married and has one son and one daughter.
