The coast guard fleet of southeast China’s Fujian Province conducted law-enforcement patrols on Tuesday in the waters near Dongyin and Wuqiu islands. The patrols aimed to test the rapid response and emergency handling capabilities of the fleet through a series of exercises.
The operations included verification and identification procedures, boarding inspections, control measures, and expulsion drills. These exercises are designed to enhance the fleet’s readiness to respond quickly to various maritime situations, ensuring the safety and security of the region’s waters.
Dongyin and Wuqiu islands are strategically located in the waters between the Chinese mainland and the island of Taiwan, making them significant for maintaining regional stability. The patrols demonstrate the commitment of the coast guard to uphold maritime law and protect the interests of the people.
By conducting these drills, the Fujian coast guard is bolstering its ability to manage emergencies and enforce regulations effectively. Such activities contribute to safeguarding navigation routes and promoting peace in the surrounding seas.
