中国海军83舰编队结束对越南友好访问解放军报胡志明市7月9日电郑洪胜、记者徐琳报道：中国海军83舰编队9日上午结束对越南为期4天的友好访问，从越南胡志明市莲花港码头起航，继续执行远海综合实习访问任务。上午10时许，越方在莲花港码头举行欢送仪式，中国驻胡志明市总领馆工作人员，当地华人华侨、中资机构、留学生代表，以及越南海军官兵代表到码头送行。离港后，编队同越南海军舰艇在附近海域开展了编队运动、手旗通信和舰艇礼仪等科目联合训练。访问期间，83舰编队组织官兵代表向胡志明雕像敬献鲜花、赴胡志明人文社科大学参观交流，并举行舰艇开放、足球友谊赛等活动。此次访问是中越两国海军在舰艇互访、联合巡逻等领域深化合作的具体体现，为增进两国互信、维护地区稳定发挥积极作用。

Summary

Machine summary

Chinese Navy Ship Formation 83 completed a four-day port call at Ho Chi Minh City's Lotus Port, departing July 9 and conducting joint drills with Vietnamese naval vessels covering formation maneuvering, semaphore communication, and naval courtesies before continuing its far-seas comprehensive training and visit mission. The visit documents the operational texture of the PLAN-Vietnam naval relationship: bilateral engagement runs in parallel with unresolved South China Sea territorial disputes, and the joint drills — however limited in scope — extend a pattern of managed mil-to-mil contact that both sides use to compartmentalize friction at sea from diplomatic and naval-to-naval channels.
