China is in talks with Djibouti about developing an infrastructure project to provide logistics support to Chinese naval convoys protecting ships from pirates. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Chinese escort ships need a logistics support station in Djibouti for food, power supplies and rest. China has deployed over 60 vessels to the Gulf of Aden and the waters off the Somali coast in 21 escort missions since 2008. According to Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hong Lei, China and Djibouti are consulting on the building of logistical facilities in Djibouti, which will better serve Chinese troops when they carry out international peacekeeping operations, escort ships in the Gulf of Aden and the waters off the Somali coast and perform humanitarian rescue.
