Baqeri held talks with Li and Central Military Commission vice-chairman Xu Qiliang, with both sides apparently keen to stress their interest in expanding military co-operation. Baqeri went on to visit Shanghai Naval Base and attend a joint military commission. A Chinese military delegation is also due to visit Iran in the near future.
