Two Chinese warships have docked at Iran’s principal naval port for the first time in history, Iranian admirals told state television on Sunday, adding that the countries would conduct four days of joint naval exercises.
On Sunday, Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, reported that on Saturday, Chinese navy ships involved in protecting shipping in the Gulf of Aden stopped at an Iranian port for a “friendly visit”. One of the vessels was the Changchun, a guided-missile destroyer, the report said.
The news agency posted images of one of the destroyers docking in the port of Bandar Abbas, where it was given a military welcome.
