SHANGHAI, July 12 -- Russian naval vessels have completed the seven-day friendly visit to Shanghai and departed from a military port in Wusong on July 11.
In waters near the Yangtze River estuary, the Chinese guided-missile destroyer Taiyuan and the Russian corvettes Gromkiy and Sovershenniy held a joint maritime exercise.
During the communication training drill, the two sides sent signals to and received signals from each other, and practiced light communication, signal codes, etc. to test their understanding and application of the communication rules. Following that, the warships also conducted training on maneuver in formation and maritime search and rescue.
The joint maritime exercise was a complete success thanks to the close cooperation between the Chinese and Russian naval ships.
Since the Russian naval vessels arrived in Shanghai on July 5, Chinese and Russian sailors have carried out mutual ship visits, held professional and technical exchanges, and organized sports activities.
This visit has further deepened friendship and mutual trust between the two sides.
