Bilateral Relations: Ecuadorean President seeks to boost cooperation with Iran

Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa is making his first official visit to Iran this week in a bid to expand trade.

Officials say President Correa will discuss new markets for some of his country's goods, including shrimp, bananas and flowers.

Both countries are members of the oil cartel OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries), but have had little contact diplomatically.
