A People’s Liberation Army naval flotilla called on a London port on Tuesday, the first time that Chinese warships have officially visited the British capital.


The 26th Chinese naval escort task force, which includes the guided-missile frigates Huanggang and Yangzhou and the comprehensive supply ship Gaoyouhu, are moored in east London’s Docklands and will stay until Saturday.


During their five-day visit, the ships will host a series of events, including an open day for members of the British public, a deck reception and a humanitarian rescue symposium with the British navy.
