TEHRAN (Iran News) – Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela Jorge Alberto Arreaza Montserrat will travel to Iran next week.
Heading a high-ranking delegation, Arreaza, a former vice president, Venezuela Foreign Minister, is scheduled to pay a three-day visit to the Islamic Republic on January 19-21.
He is expected to hold meetings with senior Iranian officials during the visit.
In October 2019, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani held a meeting with his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Baku.
In the gathering, the Iranian president lauded the resistance of the Iranian and Venezuelan nations against the US bullying and pressure as “praiseworthy”, saying Washington’s plots against the Islamic Republic and the Latin American country have failed.
Last week, following the American assassination of top Iranian commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani, Venezuela’s Defense Minister General Vladimir Padrino Lopez condemned the US move as “a terrorist act”, stressing that Caracas will side with Tehran in the campaign against the global arrogance.
Jorge Alberto Arreaza Montserrat is a Venezuelan politician who has held several important positions in the administration of President Hugo Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro. Since August 2017, he is currently serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
