Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirmed during a phone call, on Tuesday, their commitment to enhancing their nations' longstanding strategic partnership.

It is worth noting that President Maduro congratulated President Pezeshkian on his recent electoral success.

According to a statement from Venezuela's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported by Prensa Latina, both leaders underscored the fraternal nature of their countries' relationship.

They also pledged to schedule a high-level meeting in the near future to further advance cooperation and collaborative development initiatives between Venezuela and Iran.

This comes shortly after messages of congratulations flooded in from world leaders and top government officials following the official declaration of Masoud Pezeshkian as the winner of Iran's presidential runoff.

The 69-year-old heart surgeon secured over 16 million votes, while his opponent, former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, received more than 13 million out of approximately 30 million votes cast, with a voter turnout of 49.8%.

Simultaneously, the Venezuelan government congratulated the people of Iran for their commitment to democracy in Friday’s runoff election, which resulted in Pezeshkian’s victory.

“The Bolivarian Republic congratulates the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the commitment demonstrated to the democracy of their country, expressed in the second round of the presidential elections held on July 5, 2024, which gave victory to His Excellency Masoud Pezeshkian as the new president of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said in a statement on his X account on July 6.

“Venezuela expresses its conviction that the decision made by the Iranian people will contribute to the prosperity of this nation, as well as its consolidation as an emerging power of the nascent multipolar world,” he added.

At the time, Gil conveyed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s “absolute support” for Pezeshkian, emphasizing the desire “to continue deepening the fraternal relations between both peoples and in the comprehensive strategic alliance for mutually beneficial cooperation.”
