Chinese visit to EUNAVFOR headquarters
(BRUXELLES2) The photo replaces any comment. A Chinese delegation visited Atalanta HQ in Northwood (near London). A visit that is not only courtesy but consists of seeing how to cooperate more closely. Concretely, for the Chinese who must take their turn of permanence in the coordination of anti-piracy actions, piloted from Bahrain (read: China acquires the right to take the lead in anti-piracy coordination), it's about tackling very practical issues and getting to know how their counterparts work. But the challenge is as much operational as political... for all the partners
