Chinese Naval Ships Visit Germany
Inspector of the German Federal Navy Hans Luessow said that the terrorist attacks in the United States showed that a global cooperation of the naval forces was needed.
German naval ships visited Shanghai, China, in 1997, said German navy officials. And a visit by German ships to Qingdao, another eastern port of China, has also been planned, they said.
The two Chinese ships are on a European tour which will also take them to Britain, France and Italy. They will head for Britain from Germany's northern port of Wilhelmshaven on Friday.
