At around 10:00 am local time on October 1st, the Chinese Navy's "Silk Road Ark" hospital ship, which was carrying out the "Harmony Mission-2025" mission, slowly sailed into Suva Port under the guidance of the Philippine guided ship, officially starting a 7-day friendly visit and humanitarian medical services. This is the first visit of the hospital ship "Silk Road Ark" to Fiji. On the dock, Chief of Staff of the Fiji Defense Forces, Sapinafa, led a team to welcome him, and the military band played welcoming music; Staff members of the Chinese Embassy in Fiji, representatives of local Chinese funded institutions, and overseas Chinese held the national flag and warmly welcomed the arrival of the "Silk Road Ark" hospital ship. The scene was filled with a strong atmosphere of China Fiji friendship. During this visit, the hospital ship "Silk Road Ark" will strengthen its military interaction with Fiji. At the same time as the mission commander visits Fiji's military and political officials and visits local military facilities, Fiji's military and political officials also board the ship to visit and receive medical treatment and health examination services. The hospital ship "Silk Road Ark" also plans to conduct joint maritime search and rescue exercises with the Fiji Navy to enhance the maritime coordination capabilities of both sides. While utilizing the hospital ship owner platform to provide professional medical treatment for Fiji residents who come for treatment, the "Silk Road Ark" hospital ship will dispatch medical teams to Queen Elizabeth Barracks and the Philippine Army Headquarters Hospital for business exchanges and joint diagnosis and treatment, and to Chinese company camps to provide health protection for Chinese and Filipino employees. This visit will enhance cultural and emotional connections. In addition to dispatching health service and cultural friendship teams to visit Yixian School, Suva International School, and Chinese funded company camps to carry out cultural exchanges, the "Silk Road Ark" hospital ship will also enhance the friendship between China and Fiji through hosting deck receptions, tug of war friendly matches, badminton matches, and other cultural and sports activities.
