Headed by Commodore David Anson, the frigate Te Kaha of the New Zealand navy has 28 officers and 148 soldiers and is on its first visit to the port.

During their stay, the crew and officers will participate in soccer and basketball games with their Chinese counterparts.

The two sides will hold meetings and visit each other's warships as well.
