He said Iran and Cuba can provide opportunities for each other for presence in the coalitions formed in the two sides of the world.

�The focus of cooperation (between Iran and Cuba) would be on biotechnological, technical, medical and energy fields,� Amir-Abdollahian stated.

In comments before commencing his tour on Monday, President Raisi hailed the strategic ties between Iran and independent countries in Latin America, saying what the Islamic Republic has in common with them is the spirit of resistance against the hegemonic powers.
