Three Taiwanese warships, with a crew of 739 on board, have arrived in the DR on a promotional tour as part of military cooperation between both countries. Taiwanese Rear Admiral Chen Shin-Fa says that the goal of this mission is for Taiwanese naval students to put classroom theories to practice. The warships arrived at Santo Domingo's Don Diego dock yesterday and will remain there until tomorrow. The ships will be open to the public from 10:30am until 4:30pm today. As part of the cooperation events, a series of activities will be held including meetings with Dominican doctors to discuss topics like surgery, internal medicine and pediatrics. There will also be a performance by the crew's band and a martial arts demonstration on Plaza Espana. Shin-fa revealed that two Dominicans, Amable Arias and Victor Soriano, are on board the Taiwanese ships completing internships.
