COLOMBO, Dec. 25 -- On December 23, local time, the officers and sailors aboard the Chinese naval hospital ship Peace Ark went to a Sri Lankan naval base and held cultural exchanges with their counterparts from the Sri Lankan Navy. The hospital ship is currently on the Mission Harmony-2024 at the port of Colombo.
During the event, performances such as China's folk dance "Dunhuang Flying Apsaras", and Sri Lanka's Pooja Dance, further enhanced the understanding of each other's cultures between the two sides. And China's Sichuan Opera "Face Changing" even added a sense of mystery and magic to the Sri Lankan sailors.
The calligraphy demonstration and drum band performance by the two sides brought the event to a climax.
