Ahoy, Algeria! 🌍🚢 China's navy hospital ship, the \"Peace Ark\", has cruised into Algiers Port for a five-day technical stop as part of its epic Mission Harmony-2024.
At around 10 a.m. local time (09:00 GMT), the towering vessel docked, its crew lining the deck and waving enthusiastically to the welcoming crowd below. The atmosphere was electric as Algerian military officials, staff from the Chinese Embassy, and excited onlookers gathered to greet their visitors.
Over the next few days, the \"Peace Ark\" will open its doors to groups of Algerian doctors, officers, local Chinese residents, and employees of Chinese enterprises. They're in for a treat, exploring the ship's state-of-the-art medical facilities and exchanging ideas with the crew. 🤝👩⚕️👨⚕️
But it's not all work and no play! The ship's crew is set to dive into the local culture, visiting a military museum and even challenging Algerian naval officers to a friendly soccer match. ⚽️ Who will take home the bragging rights?
Mission Harmony-2024 is all about building bridges and fostering international goodwill. The \"Peace Ark\" embodies this spirit, bringing smiles and solidarity wherever it drops anchor. 🌐❤️
