Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is scheduled to visit Tehran at the head of a high-level political and economic delegation on Saturday.

The Venezuelan President will travel to Iran at the official invitation of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi.

Maduro's plans for Tehran include discussions and talks with his counterpart, as well as a combined meeting of high-level representatives from the two countries.

Simultaneously, he arrived on Thursday morning to Algeria for a two-day official visit.

"The energy file will be at the top of President Maduro's agenda with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and senior Algerian officials," local media stated.

These visits come as part of an international tour by the Venezuelan President, which began with a two-day visit to Turkey, during which he held talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Maduro's visit to Turkey coincided with the leaders of Latin American countries attending the Summit of the Americas in the United States, from which Venezuela was excluded.

He described Washington's decision not to invite him, as well as not to invite the leaders of Cuba and Nicaragua, as "an act of discrimination", explaining that the US government had ensured to thwart the summit.
