The Commanding Officer of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Hospital Ship “PEACE ARK” paid his respects at Fiji’s war memorial site today.
Deputy Commander of the East Fleet Rear Admiral Shen Hao led a delegation to the site where he laid his wreath in respect of Fijian fallen troops.
Rear Admiral Hao later met with the Minister for Defence, National Security and Immigration Joketani Cokanasiga and senior officials from various Government agencies.
The medical ship, which has been in the country since last week, has been visited by hundreds of Fijians visiting daily for consultations and treatment. A medical team from the ship left for Kadavu today to provide essential medical services for Fijians living there.
Separate medical teams were dispatched to Navua Hospital, Valelevu Hospital and the Colonial War Memorial Hospital
