Seamen of different countries are scheduled to visit each other's vessels and
exchange their ideas. China has called on the navies of the world work together
to combat threats such as terrorism and piracy.

Also, the Qingdao port will be open to the public on Wednesday afternoon so
people can look at some of the vessels in Thursday's fleet parade.
