北京,6月23电 -- 根据中越北部湾第32次联合巡逻计划安排，6月22日，中国海军巴中舰和恩施舰在北部湾海域与越南海军舰艇组成编队开展联合巡逻，并组织了联合搜救演练。
BEIJING, June 23 -- According to the schedule of the 32nd China-Vietnam joint patrol in Beibu Gulf, the Chinese naval corvettes Bazhong (Hull No. 625) and Enshi (Hull No. 627) carried out joint patrol with two Vietnamese naval ships together in the waters of the Beibu Gulf on June 22. The two navies also held a joint search and rescue exercise in the Beibu Gulf.
上午8时许，中越双方联合巡逻舰艇编队分别航渡抵达集结位置，组成双横队沿北部湾中越海上分界线开始交叉巡逻。为强化海上合作能力，双方还相互转换指挥关系，交替指挥。
At about 8 a.m., the warships for the joint patrol mission from both sides arrived at the assembly location and began to patrol in the double line abreast formation along the China-Vietnam maritime boundary in the Beibu Gulf. The two sides also took turns to undertake the command of the joint patrol to strengthen maritime cooperation capabilities.
在经过2个多小时的联合巡逻后，中越双方组织进行联合搜救演练。北部湾海域航线密集，过往商船和作业渔船比较多，开展联合搜救演练对应对海上安全风险和突发情况具有重要的现实意义。这次演练，双方舰艇密切沟通，配合默契，既促进专业交流，也深化了两国海军的互信与合作。
The joint patrol, which lasted more than two hours, was followed by a joint search and rescue drill. Given the dense distribution of shipping routes in the Beibu Gulf with merchant ships and fishing vessels shuttling therein, the joint search and rescue drills are of great practical significance for dealing with maritime safety risks and emergencies. The joint drill, during which the ships from the two navies kept close communication and good coordination, not only promoted professional exchanges, but also deepened the mutual trust and cooperation between the two navies.
据了解，此次联合巡逻是2005年中越签署《中越海军北部湾联合巡逻协议》后开展的第32次联合巡逻。在进行常态化联合巡逻的基础上，两国海军舰艇还将围绕通信操演、编队运动等科目展开演练。
It has been the 32nd joint patrol since China and Vietnam signed the Agreement on Joint Patrols by the Navies of China and Vietnam in the Beibu Gulf in 2005 . On the basis of normalized joint patrols, the naval vessels from the two countries will also conduct drills on subjects of communication and fleet maneuver.
