According to the Taiwanese Embassy in the Dominican Republic, the country’s navy has ended a three-day public relations port call to the Dominican Republic in which naval personnel met with local military officials and politicians.
A Navy Honor Guard arrived at the port of Santo Domingo Sunday, April 21 and was greeted upon arrival by Ambassador Hou Ping-fu, along with Dominican military and political figures, and Taiwanese expatriates, the embassy said.
The last time the Navy visited the Caribbean country, one of Taiwan’s only 26 diplomatic allies in the world, was in 2008.
The Honor Guard performed drills on the plaza of the Dominican Republic’s National Theater Sunday, followed by displays by a naval marching band and taekwondo team.
The three vessels that comprise the Friendship Flotilla are the Lafayette-class frigate Wu Chang, the Cheng Kung-class frigate Cheng Kung and the fleet oiler Wu Yi.
