The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) recently conducted Joint Naval Exercises off the Coast of Zhanjiang in the Guangdong Province of China.

The Naval Vessels of both Countries had to overcome the Adverse Weather Conditions while conducting their Exercises, which included Fleet Movements, Navigating a simulated Mined Area, simulating Joint Missile Strikes on Targets and conducting joint Helicopter Operations.

This is the third Joint Maritime Exercise between the two Countries since 2015, with the first two being held in Singapore. This Event marks the first time that the Exercise was held in China.
