TEHRAN- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has congratulated his Venezuelan counterpart on his re-election win.

As reported by the Iranian Presidential Office, the two presidents spoke over the phone on Monday, a week after Maduro was declared the winner of the presidential election in Venezuela.

Masoud Pezeshkian congratulated Nicolas Maduro on his victory in the presidential elections, and expressed solidarity with the nation of Venezuela.

He also condemned any foreign interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela.

Announcing the readiness of the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop all-round cooperation, including the promotion of economic and commercial exchanges and cooperation with Venezuela, as well as the export of technical and engineering services to Venezuela, Pezeshkian emphasized the importance of the full implementation of all agreements made between the two countries.

Nicolas Maduro, while thanking the encouraging congratulatory call of Pezeshkian, emphasized his country's interest and readiness to develop cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran as much as possible and stated, “A leap in cooperation between the two countries is a way to achieve progress, prosperity, and prosperity for both.”

Maduro also called the emergence of some unrest in Venezuela after the presidential election a Zionist conspiracy with the cooperation of the United States and some Western countries to destroy independent countries and added, “We will once again resist and stand against such conspiracies and we will win without a doubt.”

Nicolas Maduro, aged 61, secured a third six-year term by winning 51.2 percent of the vote on Sunday, June 28. His main opponent, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, garnered 44.2 percent of the votes.

After the announcement of the election results, Antony Blinken, the U.S. secretary of State, pointed out, “Maduro’s re-election in the Venezuelan presidential elections was fraudulent and that his rival, Gonzalez Urrutia, is the legitimate president of Venezuela.”

The announcement from the U.S. government came amid diplomatic efforts to persuade Maduro to release vote tallies from the election and increasing calls for an independent review of the results, according to officials from Brazil, Mexico, and some other Western countries.
