The patrolling exercise lasted for nearly 3 hours. Zhou Songhe, chief of staff of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison, said that during the operation, the navy, army, and air troops of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison properly coped with emergencies and accomplished all related tasks with flying colors through effective command and coordinated action.
It is learned that the PLA Hong Kong Garrison had taken the actual situation of Hong Kong waters and airspace into full account, notified relevant departments of the Hong Kong SAR government in advance, and strictly abided by related laws and regulations on waterway, port and aviation management during the patrol.
