After four years of mission in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Cuban Ambassador Vladimir González Quesada began his farewell to the local authorities, holding an interview with the Director General for Americas at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mohammad Keshavarz Zadeh.
During the meeting, the ambassador and the executive agreed that during this period intense and joint efforts have been made to promote and consolidate bilateral relations between Cuba and Iran in the different fields. Therefore, the authorities of both countries are satisfied with their current status, although more could always be done to further develop them.
The Cuban diplomat thanked the support received in his work during this time from the authorities in several Iranian ministries and institutions, particularly from the executives and officials at the Foreign Ministry.
Vladimir also commented that during the four-year period important events took place that contributed significantly to promoting bilateral ties, such as the official visits to Havana of Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, and President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hassan Rohaní, in August and September 2016, respectively, as well as the holding of the XVI session of the Intergovernmental Commission Cuba-Iran in February 2017 in the Island.
Keshavarz Zadeh thanked the work of the Cuban Head of Mission in favor of bilateral ties, and wished him success in his next responsibilities in Havana.
