Visiting navy leaders in Qingdao unanimous on building "harmonious ocean"

Other navy commanders and chiefs of staff, including those of Nigeria, Turkey, Australia, Pakistan, Russia, Singapore, Bangladesh, and France, also delivered speeches at the symposium.

Rear Admiral Iko Ibrahim, Chief of Naval Staff of Nigeria, said that for Nigeria, a harmonious ocean means the country should first ensure the safety of its sea resources.

Admiral Vysotskiy Sergeevich, Navy Commander of Russia, said that the Russian Navy is willing to cooperate more with other navies in the open sea and the Somali waters within the framework of United Nations agreements.

The heads of the delegations on Wednesday visited three main vessels of the PLA Navy, including the "Great Wall 218" conventional-powered submarine, the "Wenzhou" missile frigate, and the "Peace Ark" hospital ship.

The vessels, all independently designed and made by China, represent the latest level of PLA Navy equipment, Gu Wengen, deputy commander of the PLA Navy said.
