Iran plans to join a Latin American initiative designed to counter US-led efforts for free trade in the region, the official Web site of Iran’s president office reported on Sunday.
The report said visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez welcomed Iran’s observer membership in the Cuban-Venezuelan-backed alternative to the Free Trade Area of the Americas.
