An Iranian naval task force, which set sail from the port city of Bandar Abbas last month, docked in Sudan on Monday morning, MNA reported.

The naval task force includes the Shaheed Naqdi, a corvette-class vessel, and the Kharg, a supply vessel that can carry three helicopters.

The navy said the visit was aimed at conveying the message of peace and friendship and providing security for shipping lanes "against marine terrorism and piracy".
