Referring to the latest trip of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian to Africa, Kan'ani in an Instagram post said that the visit is promising a jump in the constructive relations between Iran and the continent.

He described Africa as the cradle of freedom-seeking nations, which is rich in natural and human resources.
