From Mar 22-25, 2011, the Chinese warship "Maanshan" escorted the World Food Programme (WFP) vessel "Amina" from Berbera to Bosasso. After the meeting between COMEUNAVFOR and the Commander of the Chinese Force on board the Spanish Flagship "Canarias" on Feb 15, a daily exchange of information and coordination for escorting merchant vessels carrying WFP aid has been carried out. The results of this mutual understanding between the Chinese Forces and EUNAVFOR have resulted in the first historical WFP escort by a Chinese Naval warship. This is evidence of good coordination and co-operation with one of the many partners in the fight against piracy. After the arrival of the "Amina" in Bosasso, the WFP highlighted the high level of professionalism shown by the Chinese warship.
