The China Coast Guard Ship San Du Completes Visit to Malaysian Port Successfully
From November 9 to 13, the China Coast Guard ship Sandu visited Penang, Malaysia, aiming to further deepen friendly exchanges and cooperation between the coast guard agencies of China and Malaysia, enhance maritime law enforcement cooperation, and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region.
On November 10, the China Coast Guard ship Sandu arrived in Penang, Malaysia, and was warmly welcomed by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency and local representatives.
On November 11, the delegation from the China Coast Guard held a high-level meeting with the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency to exchange views on promoting personnel exchanges, information sharing, maritime search and rescue, and joint law enforcement. Both sides agreed to further deepen practical cooperation at sea, strengthen information exchange and interaction, properly handle maritime emergencies, and jointly maintain regional maritime security and stability.
During the visit, both sides conducted a series of rich and diverse activities, including practical exchanges on maritime search and rescue tabletop exercises, formation training, and joint communication drills.
This activity is a practical measure to implement the strategic consensus of the leaders of China and Malaysia and the spirit of the "Joint Statement on Building a High-Level Strategic China-Malaysia Community of Shared Future." It marks the second consecutive year of exchanges and interactions following the visit of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency's ship 8305 to China last year, significantly enhancing strategic mutual trust and expanding the depth of cooperation. Both sides decided to establish a stable dialogue mechanism and agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding on maritime law enforcement cooperation as soon as possible to promote the construction of maritime liaison windows at the regional level. The China Coast Guard will continue to strengthen practical cooperation with coast guard agencies of countries like Malaysia to make positive contributions to maintaining regional maritime peace and stability.
