🚢 The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy's 83rd taskforce sailed into Sattahip naval base in Chonburi province on Thursday, marking a four-day goodwill visit to Thailand. The two ships on deck are the Qi Jiguang (making its third stop) and the brand-new Yimengshan.
During their stay, the crew will tour the Royal Thai Navy's HTMS Chakri Naruebet aircraft carrier and check out the Royal Thai Naval Academy 🤝✨. Between official events, sailors are expected to experience Thai hospitality and regional culture, strengthening friendship vibes between the two navies.
This visit underscores growing maritime cooperation between the Chinese mainland and Thailand, spotlighting shared interests in regional security and cultural exchange 🌏. It's a reminder that even complex military ops can bring people closer through mutual respect and dialogue.
