On Thursday, the port of Alicante received an unexpected visit with the docking of the French Navy warship 'Jacques Chevallier'.
This vessel docked on Thursday at the port of Alicante for a crew rest stop. The 'Jacques Chevallier' will remain off the coast until this Sunday.
The visit of this French warship coincides with the joint naval exercise 'Chebec 25', taking place this November between the ports of Toulon and Tangier.
This annual operation brings together the Moroccan Royal Navy and the French Navy to strengthen defence cooperation between the two countries.
'Chebec 25' celebrates its 33rd edition, running until November 22, aiming to perfect operational coordination between the naval crews of France and Morocco.
Also on Thursday, November 20, the crews of both countries concluded the second phase of the operation in the port of Tangier, where performance was evaluated following exercises in Toulon.
