Nicolas Maduro plans to pay a visit to Iran as part of his tour of various oil-producing countries to help stabilize the international oil market.
He will arrive in Tehran on Saturday and will hold talks with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
The two sides will review the most important energy market developments.
The Venezuelan president began his four-day visit to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and Azerbaijan on Thursday as the drop in global oil prices is negatively affecting his country's economy.
