Japanese destroyer visits China, first since World War II

ZHANJIANG, China - Holding a banner of welcome, Chinese navy personnel greet the Japanese destroyer Sazanami in a welcoming ceremony as the Japanese warship docks at the naval port in Zhanjiang, Quangdong Province, on June 24. The 4,650-ton Sazanami is the first Japanese warship to make a port call in China since the end of World War II, reciprocating a visit to Japan by the Chinese missile destroyer Shenzhen last November -- the first port call since the People's Republic of China was established in 1949. The banner says, ''We warmly welcome the first visit to China by a military ship of Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.'' (Kyodo)
