Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan plans to visit Russia to discuss further military cooperation between the two countries and attend a security conference, the Iranian Embassy in Moscow says.
“The Iranian minister will have a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu,” Russia’s TASS news agency quoted sources from the embassy on Friday.
Dehqan will also discuss ways to buy Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets and T-90 tanks during his visit to Moscow scheduled for April 26, the embassy said.
The 2016 Moscow Conference on International Security (MCIS), which will be held on April 27-29, is expected to focus on fighting terrorism in the region and across the world, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
