Venezuelan President Visits Iran
Tehran - Venezuela's
President Hugo Chavez started Thursday an
official visit to Iran, to foster bilateral
links, especially in the oil sector.
Chavez's agenda here includes meeting with
his Iranian peer Mahmud Ahmadineyad, and the
creation of a joint mining company.
In his first words in this country, the
South American statesman stressed that Iran
has helped to draw the map of the Venezuelan
mining industry, and the meeting with
Ahmadineyad showed advances in the oil,
petrochemical and gas fields. Chavez said
that his country has been working with
Iran's Mining Ministry for several years,
and there are notable advances in the
discovery of mineral fields in Venezuela.
The head of State noted that his visit is
exemplary of how Venezuela and Iran fight
for a pluripolar world and South-South
cooperation.
Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro, Industry
and Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez, Science and
Technology Minister Nuris Orihuela, Basic
Industry Minister Rodolfo Sanz, and Deputy
Agriculture Minister Richard Canan are
accompanying Chavez.
The Venezuelan president traveled to Iran
after attending the South America-Arab
Countries Summit in Qatar. |
