Congratulating Faria on his appointment as the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Amir-Abdollahian said, "Now the relations between the two countries are in the best condition and with the signing of the comprehensive roadmap of cooperation between the two countries, the path of deepening the cooperation between the two countries will be broadened more than before."
