(SomaliNet) Zimbabwe's President, Robert Mugabe, is in Iran to enhance Zimbabwe-Iran relationships, Zimbabwe's media has reported.
"Zimbabwe and Iran share a lot in common and the leaders of the two countries have stood their ground against Western attempts to vilify their respective governments for their principled stance on sovereignty. The visit will see the two countries strengthening ties on energy, telecommunications, transport and trade," Zimbabwe's State Radio said.
Zimbabwe's president has often looked up to Iran after the isolation of Zimbabwe by the western world. Iran and Zimbabwe are among other countries (Belarus, Cuba, Myanmar, North Korea) referred to as "outposts of tyranny" by US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice.
