China thanks Indian Military for rescuing 12 crew from cargo ship fire: After 6 years of the Galwan war, a Chinese army officer has praised the Indian army. This commendation is for the safe rescue of 12 Chinese crew in the Indian Ocean.
China’s newly appointed defence attache to India, Rear Admiral You Jian, has thanked the Indian armed forces for rescuing 12 Chinese crew members from a burning cargo vessel off Kerala last year and called for greater communication and cooperation between the two militaries.
He made the remarks while speaking at the reception marking the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA). ‘China and India are important neighbours, and both are at a critical stage of development and rejuvenation. We are pleased to see that, under the strategic guidance of our leaders, China-India relations have returned to the correct path of improvement and development,’ Jian said.
‘We will not forget that, last June, the Indian Military rescued 12 Chinese crew members from a cargo ship that caught fire and exploded off the coast of Kerala,’ he said. The Chinese Defence Attache also highlighted the role played by the armed forces of both countries in United Nations peacekeeping operations.
