GUANGZHOU:
Chinese and Pakistani scientists have completed a joint marine geological survey in the Indian Ocean in a move to deepen bilateral friendly cooperation in science.
The Chinese vessel for this expedition, Haiyang Dizhi 10, or literally Ocean Geology 10, returned to Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province on Tuesday after a 91-day, 26,100-km voyage.
The vessel set sail on November 28, 2018, from Guangzhou to the Indian Ocean. During the trip, researchers from multiple institutions in Pakistan went aboard the ship for visit and exchange, which enhanced cooperation in deep-sea geological expedition between the two countries.
