Participation from Chinese warships and submarines has been confirmed for this annual drill. The exercise, which will extend from tomorrow to September 10, will take place in the upper reaches of the Gulf of Thailand and at the Phra Maha Chetsadachao Camp of the Marine Division in Sattahip, as disclosed by a navy source. The main objectives of the Blue Strike exercise are to share naval expertise, prepare for potential humanitarian assistance and disaster relief situations, carry out naval operations, and foster military relations.
