During the visit, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte visited missile destroyer Changchun, and local dignitaries and staff of the Chinese Embassy attended a deck reception hosted by the naval fleet.

Officers of the two navies held a series of cultural and sports activities, while representatives of the Philippine civilian and navy, Chinese embassy staff and overseas Chinese also visited missile frigate Jingzhou.

It is the first time for a Chinese naval fleet to visit Davao, the Philippines' third largest city.
