The countries are also emphasizing the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as an invaluable deal for promotion of regional cooperation and relations, he said.
'In this convention, important principles such as emphasis on the prohibition of the presence of foreign armed forces and monopoly of any kind of navigation merely with the flags of the five littoral states, the prohibition of allowing foreigners to use the territories of the littoral states for acts of aggression against another littoral state have been mentioned,' the Iranian President said.
