CARACAS (Dispatches) -- Venezuelan President 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.
Maduro will arrive in Tehran on Saturday and will hold talks with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The Venezuelan president began his four-day visit to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and Azerbaijan on Thursday as a drop in global oil prices has negatively affected his country's economy.
