Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy hospital ship Jixiang Fangzhou departed Nouakchott's Port of Friendship on September 22 after a seven-day stop under the Harmonious Mission-2026 (和谐使命-2026) tasking, during which the ship and its forward-deployed medical detachments together treated 7,546 patients, performed 38 surgeries, and delivered one birth — the mission's first 吉祥宝宝 ("Jixiang Baby"). The visit documents the standard Harmonious Mission template: high patient-volume outreach paired with military-to-military calls on the host nation's defense ministry, general staff, and navy, an open-ship event, and a National Day reception used to frame the deployment in bilateral friendship terms. What remains unknown is the ship's next port of call and the full itinerary for the 2026 mission cycle.
