Iran and Zimbabwe have signed 12 agreements to boost bilateral relations as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi wrapped up a three-country African tour.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa greeted Raisi as \u201cmy brother\u201d on the tarmac after the Iranian leader\u2019s plane landed on Thursday in the capital, Harare.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of people holding welcome banners, including many from the Southern African country\u2019s Muslim community, turned out at Robert Mugabe International Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you see him, you see me. When you see me, you see him,\u201d Mnangagwa told a crowd of people waving Zimbabwean and Iranian flags who had gathered around the two heads of state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we went to war, Iran was our friend,\u201d said Mnangagwa, referring to Zimbabwe\u2019s fight against Britain for independence, which it attained in 1980. \u201cI am happy you have come to show solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 12 agreements signed later in the day include plans to create a tractor manufacturing plant in Zimbabwe with an Iranian company and a local partner. Others map out cooperation in energy, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications as well as research, science and technology projects.<\/p>\n

Both countries are under United States sanctions, and Raisi\u2019s trip to Africa, where he also stopped\u00a0in Kenya and Uganda<\/a>, comes as Iran tries to shore up diplomatic support and ease its international isolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur cooperation with Zimbabwe and our cooperation with the African continent, which is a continent full of potential, could help us for mutual advances,\u201d Raisi said in translated comments in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

For his part, Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe welcomed \u201cinvestments in several sectors of our economy\u201d without specifying how much investment his country was expecting from Iran.<\/p>\n

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani has described Raisi\u2019s tour as \u201ca new turning point\u201d that could bolster economic and trade ties with African nations.<\/p>\n

He also said on Monday that Tehran and the three African countries share \u201ccommon political views\u201d. Iran also signed agreements with Kenya and Uganda on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Raisi\u2019s African tour follows a visit in June to three Latin American countries also hit with US sanctions: Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.<\/p>\n

The last visit by an Iranian leader to Zimbabwe was in 2010 by then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.SOURCE:<\/p>\n
