Iran and Venezuela sign bilateral cooperation agreements Iran and Venezuela sign bilateral cooperation agreements

The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, ratified that as of July 18, the direct flight between Caracas and Tehran will open.

Venezuela signed cooperation agreements with the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially in the areas of agriculture and food production, announced President Nicolás Maduro, after holding a meeting with his Iranian counterpart Seyed Ebrahim Raisi, in the city of Tehran.

Both leaders signed a series of bilateral cooperation agreements in the political, cultural, economic, oil, petrochemical and tourism fields.

President Maduro at a press conference with his Iranian colleague pointed out that 70% of Iran's territory is desert, so the production of its food occurs only on 30% of its land.

In Venezuela there are 30 million cultivable hectares that allow not only to increase internal food production, but also "to produce food for export to Iran and the entire Asian region," he explained.

He pointed out that the technological alliance is a fundamental edge to increase production levels, based on Iran's historical experience.

"I believe that between the two of us it will create an indestructible friendship for the future of our people and we will witness how our countries grow in the face of difficulties and how a new world is growing," he said.

The head of state reported that joint projects with Iran will be promoted to produce food in Venezuela that will supply the domestic market and for export to Iran and the Asian region. "It is essential to consolidate the sovereignty and food security of our country," he emphasized.
Direct flight Caracas-Tehran

President Maduro ratified that as of July 18, the direct flight between Caracas and Tehran will open.

"Venezuela is open to receiving tourism from Iran so that they can enjoy the beauties of the Caribbean, South America, the Andes, the Amazon," he emphasized during a joint statement offered at the Saad Abad Palace, located in Tehran.

For his part, Iranian President Raisi highlighted the "exemplary resistance" of Caracas to the aggressions and sanctions of the hegemonic powers and advocates strengthening ties with Venezuela.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has always advocated maintaining relations with independent countries and Venezuela has made an exemplary resistance to the aggression and sanctions imposed by the enemies", led by the imperialist powers, he stressed.

The head of the Iranian Government has said that "in the last forty-odd years there have been many sanctions and threats against the Islamic Republic, but Iran has chosen to turn these intimidations into opportunities for its development."

He considered "a great victory for the Persian nation" the recognition by the White House of the "shameful failure" of the "maximum pressure" campaign, promoted by the previous US administration, led by Donald Trump, against the Islamic Republic.

He saluted the "success of the Bolivarian country in overcoming the hyperinflation caused as a result of the embargoes imposed by the US and Western countries, currently registering positive economic growth."

"This is a good sign that shows that resistance always works and will push the enemy back," Raisi stresses.
