Bolivian President Evo Morales arrived in Teheran to continue talks with Iranian leaders on cooperation between the two countries, particularly regarding energy and mining projects. Morales is scheduled to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday.

Morales visit follows on the visit to Iran last week of his fellow Latin American President and political ally, Hugo Chávez of Venezuela. Like Chávez, Morales has deepened ties between his country and Iran, much to the concern of the Obama Administration.

This is Morales' second visit to Iran. The first was in September 2008.
