Summary
Naval attachés or defense attachés from 22 countries accredited to China — including Russia, Serbia, Brunei, South Africa, and Argentina — visited Naval Aviation University on August 24–25 at the university's invitation, touring its military history gallery and training facilities, flying simulators, and observing the 'Future · Navy International Cadets Leadership Forging Camp' (未来·海军国际学员领导力淬锋营) sailing competition aboard the training vessel Breaking Waves (破浪). The visit fits the PLA Navy's established pattern of using professional military education institutions as controlled venues for military diplomacy, offering curated access to aviation training infrastructure while keeping operational units off the itinerary; what remains unknown is whether any of the 22 countries have active or pending agreements for naval aviation training cooperation with China.
