Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, president of the Consultative Assembly of the Islamic Republic of Iran, visited Miraflores Palace in Caracas and was received by the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros.
The welcoming took place in Office 1 of the Government Palace, in order to continue nurturing the cooperative alliance that both countries established during the Venezuelan head of state’s visit to Tehran in June 2022, which has been in force for 20 years.
In addition to sharing a leading role in current geopolitics as key players in the energy balance, Venezuela and Iran are also among the countries fighting unilateral coercive measures, through their own efforts, and advocating for a world of peace and respect.
Therefore, on November 18, 2024 was held the installation of the 10th Meeting of the Iran-Venezuela High-Level Joint Commission, in which representatives of both nations reached bilateral anti-blockade agreements in various strategic areas, such as science and technology, the oil, petrochemical and trade sectors, among others.
Earlier, the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, also had the opportunity to share his «deep admiration» with the senior Iranian official, to whom he expressed the country’s respect for its outstanding role as one of the energy and technology hubs of the global economy.
The president of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly arrived in Venezuela this Sunday morning and was received by Chancellor Yván Gil. He has a broad work agenda, including participating in the launch of a business meeting in Caracas to strengthen potential trade exchanges.
