Iran, India hold joint naval exercise - Mehr News Agency
TEHRAN, Sep. 02 (MNA) – Indian Navy fleet left Iran to India after holding joint naval exercise with Iranian Sabalan and Alborz destroyers.
On the sidelines of Iran-India’s joint naval maneuver, the Indian flotilla commander Rama Krishnan said that, “Indo-Iranian culture dates back to more than three thousand years, which is a sign of economic and cultural commonalities between the two countries.
Krishnan further pointed to reliance of Indian’s future on the sea and added that, Iran and India are inherently naval powers; therefore, joint cooperation between Iran and India can guarantee the security of the region.
Noting that the world is changing and people are gaining a more prominent role in the world’s policies, Commander of Iran's First Naval Zone Rear Admiral Amir Hossein Azad asserted in the ceremony that, “in the past, governments would concur other nations based on their own secular interests and benefits; however, India’s history is a good example because great figures like Gandhi and other influential political figures as well as people proved that people decide on the fate of their country."
“More than half of the world’s population lives on the northern and eastern sides of the Indian Ocean and 75 percent of the world’s energy resides in the northern Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf; we believe that the two great nations of Iran and India, as in the past could cooperate to the economic benefit of the people in this region so that they will be relieved," he said.
Yesterday, the Indian Navy fleet carried out joint maritime exercises with the Iranian Sabalan and Alborz destroyers and the Hindi flotilla left Iran to India after the training.
