Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahin Raisi, who is on an official visit to Cuba, will develop a busy agenda today that includes talks with his counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel to address common issues and issues of cooperation.

Various interesting events are included this Thursday in the itinerary of Raisi received the day before at the José Martí International Airport in Havana by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.

Cuba is the third and final destination on the Latin American tour of the President of Persia, who is leading a high-profile delegation to strengthen political, economic and scientific cooperation in line with his government’s foreign policy.

This journey continues the actions taken last February by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdolakhyan in Managua, Caracas and Havana, during which he exchanged scenarios with senior officials from the three countries and explored areas of cooperation.

In Nicaragua, Raisi signed three memorandums of understanding with President Daniel Ortega in various areas of interest, and before that, during his stay in Venezuela, he signed 25 cooperation agreements with his counterpart Nicolás Maduro.

In May 2022, Cuban Deputy Prime Minister Ricardo Cabrisas held meetings with the top leadership of Persia, including the president and foreign minister, in which both sides reaffirmed the brotherly relationship between the two countries.

Cuba and Iran maintain ties of friendship that have lasted for almost 44 years since August 8, 1979, and intend to raise their economic ties to the level of diplomatic relations, PL points out. Ties between Iran and Cuba are deeply marked by the historical leaders of both revolutions, Fidel Castro and Ayatollah Khomeini.

For more than four decades, Iran and Cuba have signed and strengthened agreements and exchanges in areas such as the transfer of biotech products, nanotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry, and food safety.

Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, in addition to Washington’s unilateral sanctions, are also united by membership in the Non-Aligned Movement.
