The high-ranking officials of Iran and Cuba have inked 6 cooperation documents in the presence of the presidents of the two countries on Thursday.







The signing ceremony of bilateral cooperation documents between Iran and Cuba was held in the presence of the presidents of the two countries, Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi and Miguel Díaz-Canel.

The high-ranking officials of the two countries signed 6 cooperation documents and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in the areas of judicial jurisdiction, comprehensive political cooperation, customs relations, and cooperation in the field of information technology.

The Iranian president and his entourage arrived in Havana on Wednesday, after visiting Venezuela and Nicaragua.

In a post on his Twitter account on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian described Iran and Cuba as pioneers of the development of regional convergence.

Unconfirmed reports by Iranian media outlets suggested Iran had secured tens of billions worth of economic and trade deals during Raisi’s four-day tour of Latin America where he has visited Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba.

The tour is part of Iran’s efforts to diversify its trade partners and to join ranks with countries that have been targeted by foreign sanctions.

President Raisi had said before leaving Tehran for Latin America earlier this week that Iran views relations with independent countries of the region as “strategic”.
