MUARA PORT, Brunei, July 28 -- On Tuesday morning, the Chinese PLA Navy's task group, comprising the training ship Qijiguang (Hull 83) and amphibious dock landing ship Kunlunshan (Hull 998) concluded its four-day goodwill visit to Brunei, and set sail from the Muara Port to continue its open-sea training and overseas visit mission.

After departing the port, the task group conducted a joint training exercise with the Bruneian naval vessels.

During the visit, the commander of the task group paid a courtesy call on Captain Sonny Iskandar, Commander of the Royal Brunei Navy Fleet. The Chinese sailors toured the Bruneian naval training center and military museum, and took part in a variety of activities with their Bruneian counterparts, including symposiums, friendly sports matches, and public performances. During the port call, the task group also organized multiple ship-open events.

On the evening of July 26, the task group, in conjunction with the Chinese Embassy in Brunei, held a deck reception to celebrate the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The Chinese sailors presented cultural performances such as hulusi (cucurbit flute) solos and Sichuan Opera face-changing, fully showcasing the charm of traditional Chinese culture.

This visit effectively deepened exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese and Bruneian navies, built a platform for young sailors from both countries to learn from each other, strengthened the bonds of friendship between the two militaries, and promoted the sustained improvement in quality and efficiency of bilateral maritime cooperation.
