Sri Lanka Navy commander visits “Wenzhou” warship - China Navy in Sri Lanka

On the afternoon of January 6, local time, Vice Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe and Rear Admiral Dissanayake, Commander-in-chief and chief of staff respectively of the Sri Lanka Navy, and the party led by them visited the “Wenzhou” guided-missile frigate of the Chinese naval escort taskforce which was berthing at the Colombo Port for rest. The two sides conducted friendly exchanges.

  During the visit to the “Wenzhou” guided-missile frigate, Vice Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe warmly welcomed the warship of the Chinese naval escort taskforce to berth at the Colombo Port and spoke positively of the Chinese navy’s participation in escort action in the Gulf of Aden and the waters off the Somali coast. He said that the peoples of China and Sri Lanka had maintained profound friendship and the two militaries of the two countries had kept good exchange and cooperative ties. He hoped that the two navies of the two countries would further strengthen cooperation and enhance the friendship.

  The commanding officers of a destroyer flotilla under the East China Sea Fleet and the “Wenzhou” guided-missile frigate of the PLA Navy expressed their gratitude to the convenience and assistance given by the Sri Lanka Navy during the berth of the “Wenzhou” warship at the Colombo Port.

  The “Wenzhou” guided-missile frigate berthed at the Colombo Port for rest and replenishment on January 5 after accomplishing the escort task of the Chinese “Dexinhai” cargo ship. On the afternoon of January 7, local time, the “Wenzhou” guided-missile frigate left the Colombo Port and returned to the Gulf of Aden and the waters off the Somali coast to continue its implementation of escort mission after a 3-day-long rest in the port.
