Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has left Tehran on a tour of three Latin American countries, APA reports citing Mehr News Agency.

He made the remarks during a short interview early Monday before starting his five-day tour, which will take him to Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba.

Raeisi said Iran's relations with those countries have been consistently cordial during past years, as they have common views with Tehran on major international issues.

He said his trip comes at the invitation of the presidents of the three countries, adding that it would be a turning point in developing Tehran’s ties with Caracas, Managua and Havana.

This is Raeisi's 13th foreign trip during almost two years that have passed since he was elected Iran's president.

A high-ranking delegation comprised of ministers of foreign affairs, oil, defense, and health are accompanying Raeisi on his tour of Latin America.

During his visit to the three countries, various cooperation agreements and memorandums of understanding will be signed between Iranian officials and their counterparts.
