He took the opportunity to describe that the vehicles have a 1.5 engine; which translates into a consumption of only seven liters of fuel every 100 kilometers, qualifying the machine as “high yielding” and “comfortable”, in addition to being “smooth in handling” and that it will be “happiness” for Venezuelan families.
Similarly, he said that soon Iran and Venezuela will activate a sea bridge between the two nations to expand trade; action that was agreed upon at the ninth meeting of a high-level joint commission.
For his part, the president of the Saipa company, Mohammad Ali Teymuri, stressed that a conglomerate of at least 20 companies in the petrochemical sector work together to manufacture the materials that are needed and also have the support of other companies that allow the production and project execution.
President Nicolás Maduro, on his tour of countries in Eurasia and Africa that he made in June at the same time as the Summit of the Americas, visited Iran to strengthen relations with Tehran under the gaze of several countries such as the United States, which considers that this rapprochement promotes the arrival in America of terrorism.
In Tehran, where he spent about three days, he met with his counterpart Ebrahim Raisí, president of Iran, to sign a strategic cooperation agreement for 20 years, which provides for collaboration in oil, petrochemicals, tourism, food and technology.
Upon his arrival in Venezuela, Maduro ordered the June 20th to his economic cabinet to “design, start and install”, “immediately”, a technological industrial park “twinned” with Iran for the development of food, health and education.
