Two Myanmar destroyers anchored at Tien Sa Port, Da Nang City on March 12th, starting its three-day visit to Vietnam for the first time of the year.
The “Ums Mahar Bandoola” (F-21) and the “Ums Mahar Thiha Thura” (F-23) of the Navy of Myanmar have the same technical parameters. Each is 103.2m long, 10.8m wide and weighs 1,726 tons with 123 crew members on board.
Welcoming the Myanmar guests, a representative from Naval Command Region 3 said the visit is a contribution to tightening the friendship between the two countries and to maintaining stability in the East Sea and in the region.
As envisaged, the visiting crew members will have a courtesy visit to Naval Command Region 3, leaders of Da Nang City People’s Committee and tour Hoi An’s Old Quarter.
These destroyers are the first military ships to call at Da Nang City this year.
