索马里海盗泛滥成灾,威胁着世界海洋安全和中国海外利益。中国海军于2008年12月26日起程,首次远赴亚丁湾、索马里海域护航。这次护航创造了海军历史,值得一书的重大事件接二连三。此后,在实现护航常态化的同时,中国海军探索出了一套科学护航的规律,有效遏制了海盗的犯罪行为,展示了中国海军的威武形象,诠释了中国积极参与中东和平的形象,彰显了中国负责任大国的形象。在国际社会的共同努力下,索马里海盗猖獗的态势得到了有效遏制,海盗作案的次数大幅下降,然而,让索马里海盗最终销声匿迹仍任重道远。
When Somali Pirates threatened world maritime security and China’s overseas interests,Chinese warships went to the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia to conduct escort mission on December 26,2008.Although it is a new task,the Chinese Navy soon realized the escort normalization and explored a set of scientific escort rules while completing the task which shows the powerful image of the Chinese Navy and highlights China’s image of a responsible big country.International security measures have led to a decline in piracy,but seafarers should remain vigilant in the waters around Somalia.These waters are still extremely risky and the naval presence must be maintained.
