Three naval vessels berth in London for five-day goodwill visit

After visiting the Belgian port of Antwerp and making a stop in Denmark, two naval frigates and a supply ship from the 26th Escort Task Group of the People's Liberation Army Navy berthed at London's Canary Wharf on Monday at the start of a five-day goodwill visit to the United Kingdom.

The visit, which Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the UK, described as history making in the realm of China-Britain military relations, is expected to offer the British public and its military the chance to see first hand China's growing military strength and its unremitting contribution to world peace.
