In an very open gesture of mutual cooperation and understanding the European Union Force Commander Commodore Antonios Papaioannou from the Hellenic Navy was invited onboard the destroyer WUHAN to meet Rear Admiral DU JINGCHEN the commander of the Chinese anti-piracy operation off Somalia.
The meeting, which took place onboard the Chinese Flagship in the Gulf of Aden last Friday, is believed to be the first of its kind and was a clear indication of how willing the international community is to work together to combat piracy in the region.
