TEHRAN – Director of the Foreign Ministry Department for the Americas was expected to depart Tehran for Moscow on Monday night to exchange views about Venezuela with the Russian side.

According to the YJC, Mohsen Baharvand’s visit is intended to create coordination between Iran and Russia on international affairs, especially the political situation in Venezuela.
