Robert Mugabe has backed Iran's "just cause" on seeking nuclear power, as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues his Zimbabwe visit.
Zimbabwe's leader said both countries had been "unjustly vilified and punished by Western countries".
Mr Ahmadinejad has opened a trade fair in Zimbabwe's second city, Bulawayo.
Iran's leader also castigated Western nations, saying: "They want to seize the markets of the countries [Iran and Zimbabwe] and destroy their economies,"
The visit has exposed the deep divisions in Zimbabwe's power-sharing government.
The Movement for Democratic Change of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has condemned the visit and did not send anyone to welcome Mr Ahmadinejad at Harare's airport on Thursday.
It said inviting him to open a trade fair was like "inviting a mosquito to cure malaria".
