The visit of the two ships, guided missile destroyer "Shenzhen" and support vessel "Fengcang," was the first by Chinese naval ships to Germany.

Commander of the Chinese naval ships Wu Fuchun expressed his hope that the relationship between the two navies could be expanded.

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.

The two Chinese ships are on a European tour which will also take them to France and Italy after the visit to Britain.
