In a message published on the social network Twitter, the head of Venezuelan diplomacy reported on a work meeting held with the director general for the Americas of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, Ambassador Nazar Aharai.

As part of a recent visit to Tehran, the Foreign Minister held a series of meetings with senior Iranian authorities, during which issues related to bilateral ties and the confrontation with the systematic persecution of the United States Government against both nations were discussed.

The parties also advanced the preparation of a strategic cooperation roadmap for the next 20 years, in addition to agreeing on the reactivation of the High Level Mixed Commission.

Venezuela and Iran have consolidated cooperation ties in recent years, with agreements signed in economic, social, cultural, energy and scientific matters, among others, to jointly confront the effects of the coercive measures implemented by Washington against both countries.
