Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is in the country for a three days state visit as he wraps up his three-nation African tour.

Hundreds of Zimbabweans, including women and school children welcomed the Iranian President at Robert Mugabe International Airport.

Zimbabwe and Iran signed 12 memorandums of understanding today to strengthen bilateral ties.

This comes as Raisi visited Kenya and Uganda earlier this week before meeting with President Emmerson Mnangagwa in Harare.
