Canadian Navy frigate "REGINA" concludes China visit



The Canadian navy frigate "REGINA" left the Shanghai's Yangtze River Port on
Sunday, concluding a 6-day friendly visit.

The vessel with 233 people on board is commanded by Commodore Bruce Donaldson,
Commander of the Canadian Pacific Fleet.

Senior colonel Shen Changkang, the Chinese Navy's Shanghai base vice-chief of
staff, held a ceremony at the port to send off the REGINA.

During the visit, Commodore Donaldson and other Canadian naval officers met with
Major General Wang Deding of the Chinese Navy's Shanghai base and vice-mayor of
Shanghai Feng Guoqin.

The Canadian officials visited the guided missile frigate designed and produced
by China during their stay. Chinese and Canadian military personnel also staged
a friendly football match and a tug-of-war.

The REGINA entered service on Sept. 30. 1994. This is the fifth time the
Canadian warship visited Shanghai.
