Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy vessels Nanning, a guided-missile destroyer, and Hengyang, a guided-missile frigate, enter waters of Hong Kong’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and conduct a public port call. According to reports citing China’s Ministry of National Defence and Xinhua, the ships arrive in Hong Kong on Thursday and take part in activities scheduled around the 29th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese sovereignty. The planned programme runs from July 2 to July 6, with events described as open-house and cultural exchanges. Residents (and in some reporting, Hong Kong and Macao residents and students) are allowed to visit the ships during the weekend window, including at the PLA Hong Kong Garrison’s naval base on Stonecutters Island. Other coverage also describes the ships sailing into Victoria Harbour shortly after entering Hong Kong waters. One report notes the task group includes ship-borne helicopters and marines as part of the visit. The coverage is based on official announcements and Xinhua reporting and focuses on the arrival, the dates, and public-access arrangements for the vessels.
