A DELEGATION from China has been given an insight into Royal Navy training during visits to Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, and HMS Excellent in Portsmouth, as part of the UK’s defence engagement programme.

Three officers from the Naval University of Engineering of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy spent three days in the UK as guests of the Royal Navy.

The invitation followed a successful visit to China by a group from the Royal Navy and was designed to strengthen relationships between the British and Chinese defence training establishments, ahead of a planned cadet exchange later this year.
