The Iran Project : Iran and Venezuela have signed a series of cooperation documents in Caracas where Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh is visiting at the helm of a high-ranking delegation.
According to The Iran Project, Nasirzadeh, who traveled to Caracas on Tuesday to participate at the 10th meeting of the Iran-Venezuela joint economic cooperation commission, met President Nicolas Maduro who highlighted the extensive work done by various working groups to map out bilateral cooperation.
"Iran has established itself as an emerging power in the multipolar and multicentric world that is emerging today,” Maduro said.
“It is a country with great technological capacity, a rich educational, cultural, and scientific tradition," he said, noting Iran's resilience against imperialist siege for over 45 years, which has strengthened its fighting spirit.
Venezuela, Maduro said, has never had such a strong relationship with a powerful country like Iran.
He recalled the various stages of this relationship, noting that the 10th joint commission meeting opens a new chapter with a cooperation map full of great challenges and opportunities in a world aspiring to be free of colonies, hegemons and fascism.
"From Venezuela and Iran, we say yes to freedom, to open dialogue between peoples and civilizations, to joint construction. A new stage of the Iran-Venezuela relationship is opening to increase trade, mobility, and exchange through tourism. Venezuela is ready to receive large contingents of families and tourists from Iran," he said.
