China’s hospital ship “Peace Ark” arrives in Sri Lanka for 7-day visit
The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy hospital ship "Peace Ark", which is on the Mission Harmony-2024, arrived at the Port of Colombo, Sri Lanka on Saturday local time to start a seven-day visit and provide medical services.
This is the first time that the "Peace Ark" has visited Sri Lanka in seven years.
During the visit, the hospital ship will use its main platform to provide medical services and send medical teams to carry out rounds.
In addition, members of the ship will also carry out various recreational and sports activities with the officers and soldiers of Sri Lankan navy.
With the diplomatic ties established on February 7, 1957, China and Sri Lanka elevated their bilateral relations to the strategic cooperative partnership based on sincere mutual assistance and ever-lasting friendship in May 2013.
The "Peace Ark" set sail from a military port in Zhoushan in east China's Zhejiang Province on June 16 for Mission Harmony-2024.
During the mission, the ship will visit 13 countries and make port calls to France and Greece.
This is the 10th Mission Harmony for "Peace Ark" since its commissioning in 2008.
There are over 100 personnel on board the maritime hospital, featuring 17 clinical departments and 5 auxiliary diagnostic departments.
The "Peace Ark" is the first domestically designed and constructed standard ocean-going hospital ship in China.
