Venezuelan Minister Thanks Iran for Shipments of Fuel, Refinery Parts

Venezuelan Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami thanked Iran on Monday for sending fuel, additives, and spare parts to increase fuel distribution and boost refinery output in the gasoline-starved South American country, after the first in a flotilla of five Iranian fuel tankers docked at a Venezuelan port.

“We are fortunate to be able to count on Iran in these times,” El Aissami said from the port at the El Palito refinery in central Venezuela, where the Fortune tanker arrived overnight. - Reuters
