A Chinese naval flotilla Saturday concluded its good-will visit to Chile and sailed for Peru to continue its South America tour.
The squadron, composed of missile destroyer Shijiazhuang and supply ship Hongzehu, unmoored at around 10:00 a.m. local time and sailed from the Valparaiso military wharf to music played by the Chile navy's military band.
The two-vessel fleet arrived in Chile on Monday for the Chinese Navy's second visit to Chile since 1997.
During the four-day visit, Major General Wang Fushan, commander of the fleet, met with Chilean Defense Minister Francisco Vidal and other high-ranking military and government officials.
