Under the Second Republic, Zimbabwe has dispatched several High-Level delegations to Iran, as part of efforts to consolidate our gains, while leveraging on the existing, solid political foundation.

Similarly, Iran has also sent several High-Level Missions to Zimbabwe in the spirit of growing relations further.

It is instructive that the State Visit comes against the backdrop of the Eighth and Ninth Sessions of the Zimbabwe-Iran Joint Permanent Commission on Cooperation (JPCC), held in August 2022 in Harare and Tehran in February 2023 respectively.

At these two JPCCs, Zimbabwe and Iran committed to intensify cooperation across various sectors including trade, commerce, agriculture, mining, health and energy among others.

The State Visit to Zimbabwe by H.E. Dr. Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi will consolidate the gains of our longstanding relationship, in fulfillment of our win-win cooperation.

Zimbabwe and Iran entered into diplomatic relations in the early 1980s and the two countries have enjoyed cordial relations since then.
