GULF of ADEN, June 2 -- The 43rd and 44th Chinese naval escort taskforces recently held a mission handover ceremony in the Gulf of Aden. The 44th Chinese naval escort taskforce has officially succeeded the 43rd taskforce to perform escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and the waters off Somalia.

亚丁湾，6月2日 – 中国海军第43、44批护航编队日前在亚丁湾某海域举行任务交接仪式，第44批护航编队正式接替第43批护航编队，开始执行亚丁湾、索马里海域护航任务。

At the handover ceremony, staffs of the 43rd Chinese naval escort taskforce briefed the successors on the current situation and escort experience in the region, and transferred the relevant materials. The two taskforces also exchanged views on foreign military coordination, skills training and other subjects.

交接仪式上，第43批护航编队指挥所向第44批护航编队指挥所介绍当前亚丁湾、索马里海域情况及护航经验，并移交护航相关物资。双方还就接护任务、对外军事合作、护航训练等内容进行了交流。

It is learned that the 43rd taskforce has completed escort tasks for 21 ships in 16 batches. In late April, the guided-missile destroyer Nanning and the comprehensive supply ship Weishanhu attached to the task force were dispatched in emergency to evacuate Chinese people from conflict-torn Sudan.

据了解，第43批护航编队共完成16批21艘船舶的护航任务。4月下旬，南宁舰、微山湖舰紧急驶赴苏丹，圆满完成撤离我在苏丹人员任务。

As for the 44th Chinese naval escort taskforce, since its departure from Zhoushan Port of China"s Zhejiang Province on April 28, it has organized a series of targeted training on anti-terrorist and anti-piracy, hijacked ship rescue by force and nighttime helicopter landing practice under complex sea conditions along the way, aiming to improve its capability in carrying out escort missions.

第44批护航编队自4月28日从浙江舟山起航以来，沿途在复杂海况下先后组织了反恐反海盗、武力营救被劫持船舶、夜间直升机起降等一系列针对性训练，有效提高了编队遂行护航任务的能力。
