In a meeting with the president of Prensa Latina Luis Enrique Gonzalez, Iran's diplomat expressed willingness in renewing and strengthening the links between the two news agencies through a memorandum of understanding on collaboration signed in October 2002 in Tehran, Prensa Latina reported.
The ambassador referred to the good state of relations between Iran and Cuba, as well as the role that both news agencies can play in fostering mutual knowledge between the Cuban and Iranian peoples, according to the report.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez reiterated Prensa Latina's willingness to strengthen working ties with IRNA to boost professional exchange and to undertake joint actions such as the realization of virtual photographic exhibitions, taking advantage of the voluminous archives that the two entities have.
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) was founded in 1934, five years before the birth of the Latin American news agency Prensa Latina, at the initiative of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, and Commander Ernesto Che Guevara.
