Last week, during his visit to Havana, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi signed 6 agreements with his Cuban counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel in an effort to strengthen Iranian-Cuban cooperation in different fields. 

The signed agreements include comprehensive cooperation in foreign relations and political consultations, agreements in the field of customs, the exchange of information, and the development of cadres, in addition to the field of communications and technology and an agreement between the ministries of justice of the two countries.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel asserted to his Iranian counterpart, Ebrahim Raisi, his intentions to visit Tehran before the end of this year.

The Cuban President said Iran and Cuba are living under similar circumstances created by Western unilateral sanctions, adding that strengthening relations between Havana and Tehran would help in facing the sanctions imposed on the two countries.

Similarly, the Deputy Minister of Economic Diplomacy in the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mahdi Safari, confirmed that both countries have a lot of potential for cooperation that must be identified to be developed later, pointing to his country's readiness to work with the largest of the Antilles in various projects and offer its expertise, especially in the field of technology.

On the Cuban side, the Cuban Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade, Ana Teresita Fraga, announced that the two countries are determined to work quickly to implement measures aimed at strengthening the presence of Iranian businesses in the Caribbean country and promoting joint business projects, describing this as a "qualitative shift in relations."
