That horseshit went out with sword fighting and knickers. Just because an embassy opens, or closes, doesn't mean it affects diplomatic communication with that country, for christ's sake. Yo, there's stuff in the sky that talks to places on the ground without pigeons.
Walmart opens and closes stores all the time.
Toyota opens and closes dealerships all the time.
