Summary
In late June, PLA Navy ships Qi Jiguang and Kunlunshan will make a port visit to Vladivostok at the Russian Navy's invitation, framed explicitly as implementing consensus reached between Xi Jinping and Putin. The visit documents the routine operational dimension of the China-Russia military relationship — port calls as a mechanism for translating high-level political agreements into visible bilateral military activity. Qi Jiguang is a training ship, so the composition of this formation raises the question of whether the visit is designed to project partnership optics rather than demonstrate combat-relevant interoperability.
Translation
In late June, at the invitation of the Russian Navy, a naval vessel formation composed of the People's Liberation Army Navy ships Qi Jiguang and Kunlunshan will visit Vladivostok, Russia. The two countries' militaries will earnestly implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, continuously expand practical cooperation across all fields, and play a positive role in deepening the China-Russia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Coordination for the New Era (新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系).
