President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi will begin a three-nation tour of Africa on Tuesday. 

Heading a delegation, the Iranian president will embark on a tour of Kenya, Zimbabwe and Uganda on Tuesday.

After taking workplace in August 2021, Raisi adopted a brand new international coverage oriented in direction of neighbors, Muslim states, Asian international locations and the members of the Non-Aligned Motion.

He will probably be visiting Africa on the official invitation of his Kenyan, Ugandan and Zimbabwean counterparts with the aim of diversifying Iran’s export markets and selling commerce cooperation with the international international locations.

In feedback in January 2022, Raisi denounced the goals and pursuits that the West pursues in Africa, expressing Iran’s help for African nations’ independence, improvement and welfare.

Describing plans to determine and strengthen relations with the African states as a precedence in Iran’s international coverage, he stated Iran seeks to reinforce relations with African international locations in all fields.
