PLAN Task Group to Visit Indonesia 7月30日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校发布消息。蒋斌：8月初，应印度尼西亚海军邀请，中国人民解放军海军戚继光舰、昆仑山舰组成的舰艇编队将赴印度尼西亚泗水访问。近年来，中印尼两国海军不断拓展联合演练、舰艇互访等合作，推动两军关系走深走实。 Jiang Bin:In early August, at the invitation of the Indonesian Navy, a task group of the PLA Navy comprising PLANS Qijiguang and PLANS Kunlunshan will arrive in Surabaya, Indonesia, for a goodwill visit. In recent years, the Chinese and Indonesian navies have expanded cooperation in joint exercises and mutual ship visits, which deepened bilateral military relations.

Summary

Machine summary

A PLAN task group comprising the training ship Qi Jiguang and the Type 071 amphibious transport dock Kunlunshan will make a port call at Surabaya, Indonesia in early August, announced by MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Jiang Bin at the July 30 press conference. The pairing of a training ship with a large amphibious vessel is worth noting: Qi Jiguang routinely conducts cadet cruises, but Kunlunshan's inclusion extends the visit beyond a standard goodwill call and fits a pattern of Indonesia-China naval engagement that has expanded to include joint exercises in recent years.
