Iran seeks to bolster “good and constructive” marine cooperation with Russia, an Iranian naval commander says, Press TV reports.
Captain Mohsen Sheidayee, the commander of a flotilla of Iranian warships, currently on a friendly visit to Makhachkala, the capital city of the Republic of Dagestan in Russia, made the comments in a meeting with the commander of the Russian Caspian Flotilla.
“The purpose of this trip is [to strengthen] good and constructive interaction with the focus on peace,” Sheidayee said.
He noted that the country had succeeded in making great progress by relying on the know-how of young Iranian experts.
“We are proud to have turned threats into opportunities during the time of sanctions,” he added.
