Japanese coast guard ship docks in Đà Nẵng for six-day visit

ĐÀ NẴNG — The Japanese coast guard vessel Settsu, under the leadership of Captain Colonel Niwa Satoshi and with a crew of  五 二, docked for a six-day visit to Đà Nẵng on February  一 三th.

The voyage marks the first in a series of events to celebrate the  五0th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Việt Nam.

The Settsu, which had been on a one-month anti-pirate patrol, will engage in a series of exchanges with the local government, Việt Nam's coast guard, and the Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Centre No.  二 based in Đà Nẵng.

Captain Satoshi expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome the ship received upon its arrival at Tiên Sa Port in Đà Nẵng, noting that Việt Nam was the first stop on the ship's post-COVID- 一 九 international exchange trip.

He said the trip also aims to celebrate the friendship between Japan and Việt Nam and strengthen the close ties between the two countries on the  五0th anniversary.

The Japanese captain said two coast guard forces of Việt Nam and Japan would host a joint search and rescue exercise on February  一 八, the last day of the visit.
