The Iranian Minister of Health and Medical Education, Dr. Hassan Qazizadeh Hashemi, visited the Residence of the Cuban Ambassador in Tehran to sign the book of condolences that will be officially open there in the next few hours, on occasion of the recent death of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.

In response to an invitation from Sorena Sattari, Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Iran for Science and Technology, Dr. Fidel Castro Díaz-Balart, Scientific Advisor to the Council of State and Vice-president of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba, will begin an official visit to Tehran.

The book "Who Killed Che?" from the authors Michael Ratner and Michael Steven Smith, published in 2011 in United States, saw the light in its Farsi edition, at Rasaneh Cultural Center in Tehran. This valuable work is the result of the efforts of Cuba’s friends, Mohammad Ghorbani and Ali Aboutalebí, who translated and edited the book.

This book makes available to Iranian readers a substantial analysis and declassified documents on the operation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to assassinate Che Guevara in 1967 in Bolivia and get away with this heinous crime.

The Ambassador of Cuba, Vladimir González Quesada, was received by the Minister of Health and Medical Education, Dr. Hassan Qazizadeh Hashemi, who also serves as co-president of the Cuba-Iran Intergovernmental Commission.

For the Iranian side Deputy Minister for International Affairs, Dr. Mohsen Asadi Lari, was also present at the meeting while Second Secretary of the Embassy, Norberto Escalona Carrillo participated for the Cuban side.
