DAR ES SALAAM - A Chinese naval fleet arrived on Wednesday at Dar es Salaam port for a four-day friendly visit to Tanzania.

A welcome ceremony was held at the port with the participation of more than 350 Chinese working and living in Tanzania.

Representatives of the Tanzania People's Defense Forces also attended the ceremony.

The Chinese fleet comprises destroyer Changchun, guided-missile frigate Jingzhou and supply vessel Chaohu.
