Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ended his visit to Iran by holding high level talks with President Ebrahim Raisi and Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei on 11 June.

Both sides spoke about the successful experiences they have had in countering punitive economic sanctions imposed on them by the US.

Khamenei praised the Venezuelan people for their victory against hybrid war of Washington, saying: "Your resistance and that of the people of Venezuela is valuable because it enhances the value, status and merits of a nation and a country as well as its leaders."

"Today, the US views Venezuela in a different [manner] compared to the past," Khamenei added.

Earlier in the day, Raisi and Maduro signed a 20-year "cooperation road map," focusing mainly on the areas of agriculture and food production.
