Official: Iran Ready to Equip Venezuela’s Science, Technology Park

Amir Hossein Mirabadi, who has recently paid a visit to the Venezuelan science and technology park, met with the head of the Venezuelan science and technology park to finalize the previous agreements.

“We are ready to equip the park with Iran-made equipment,” he said, stressing readiness to hold training courses for the Venezuelan workforce.

Iranian Science Minister Mohammad Ali Zolfigol in a meeting in Tehran with his Venezuelan counterpart Gabriela Servilia Jimenez in November 2022 had announced his country’s readiness to establish a science and technology park in Venezuela.

With 49 science and technology parks and 7,500 technological companies and numerous knowledge-based companies, Iran has valuable experiences in the field of science and technology and is ready to help Venezuela in establishing a science and technology park, Zolfigol said.

“We must try and plan to promote the scientific and technological cooperation between Iran and Venezuela to the same level as the political relations,” he added.

Iran is not dependent on the East and the West and can interact and cooperate with different countries of the world by its will, he noted, adding, forming a joint committee can help operationalize the will to increase scientific cooperation between the two countries.
