Maduro noted that he will soon travel to Tehran to meet his counterpart Ebrahim Raisi “to speed up cooperation at all levels between two independent and sovereign countries,” he asserted. Venezuela and Iran are allies in the fields of science, technology and innovation, which involve technology transfer in agriculture, food, industry, mining, and construction.
Likewise, strategic cooperation mainly covers the productive economy sector and oil.
Earlier, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia stressed that Iran is a worthy example of strength and struggle for sovereignty and independence.
