   Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and his Cuban counterpart Berno Rodríguez Parrilla held talks on bilateral, regional and international issues on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.   Reminding that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s late President Ebrahim Raisi had extended an invitation to his Cuban counterpart Raul Castro to visit Iran, Araghchi stressed, “We are ready to cooperate with Cuba to expand bilateral ties in all fields.”   Meanwhile, the Iranian foreign minister slammed the US Congress for its unilateral and politically-charged move to include Cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, saying it is in line with the hostile US policies.   The Iranian foreign minister also said, “As one of the victims of the US sanctions, we fully understand the Cuban people’s situation and we support the country against the US embargoes.”   Araghchi also touched on the latest developments in West Asia, stating that the Israeli regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government commits crimes in Gaza and Lebanon out of desperation and due to its failure in Gaza.   For his part, the Cuban foreign minister welcomed the expansion of bilateral ties between Tehran and Havana in the economic, academic and scientific spheres.   Parrilla also said his country supports the Islamic Republic of Iran against the hostile US policies.   The top Cuban diplomat welcomed the holding of a joint economic commission meeting shortly and stressed that economic cooperation between the two countries should continue.
