Rodríguez made the remarks through a Twitter message posted on the occasion of arrival of first Iranian oil tanker "Fortune" in Venezuela's El Palito port early on Monday.
Such arrival is a historic event, wrote Rodríguez, adding that her country will make efforts to develop cooperation with Iran.

Dispatch of five Iranian tankers to Venezuela's territory is a move in line with supporting peace and serving mutual interests, Ms Rodríguez said, noting that it is also an indication of spirit of solidarity among the two countries.

Arrival of the Iranian tanker in El Palito was due to the fuel shortage in Venezuela after the US sanctions against the country.
