China defense minister to pay three-day visit to Iran
China's Defense Minister General Chang Wanquan will pay an official three-day visit to Tehran to hold key talks with senior Iranian officials.
Chang is scheduled to arrive in Tehran on Sunday at the official invitation of Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan.
The Chinese defense minister plans to meet with his Iranian counterpart and senior political and military officials of the country.
The sides will discuss ways to improve cooperation and the latest regional and international developments.
Back in April 2015, the Iranian and Chinese defense ministers, who were in the Russian capital to attend the fourth Moscow International Security Conference, held a meeting and discussed Tehran-Beijing relations as well as the issue of the Daesh Takfiri terrorists and the extent of their activities in East Asia.
In the meeting, Dehqan said Iran and China shared a very successful experience of defense cooperation and were determined to strengthen mutual relations in this sector.
The Chinese defense minister, for his part, stressed the importance of improving bilateral and multilateral defense and military cooperation on global issues.
In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.
Iran has also conducted several major military drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and state-of-the-art army equipment.
The Islamic Republic maintains that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
