During the period, the ship officers and soldiers continued to strengthen observation of the sea. After discovering the goals, they immediately launched rescue and reported the search and rescue results.

China ’s joint patrol formation commander Li Wuyi said that the routes of the Beibuwan waters are dense, and there are many past merchant ships and operating fishing vessels. The corresponding search and rescue drills have important practical significance for maritime safety risks and emergencies. In this exercise, the ships of the two sides closely communicated and cooperated with tacit understanding, which not only promoted professional exchanges, but also deepened the mutual trust and cooperation between the two navy.

It is understood that the joint patrol was the 32nd joint patrol of China -Vietnam Navy's Beibu Gulf Candidate Agreement in 2005. In the early stage, the two sides actively strengthened communication and organized the connection of joint patrol plans to lay a solid foundation for the smooth implementation of maritime tasks. On the basis of normalized joint patrols, the naval ships of the two countries will also conduct drills around communication exercises, formation movements and other subjects.
