The U.S. guided-missile destroyer, Gonzalez (DDG 66), will make a port call in Batumi next week, the border police at the Georgian Interior Ministry, said.

It said that the warship and its crew, which will be hosted by the Georgian coast guard and the local authorities of Adjara Autonomous Republic, will stay in Georgia till December 2.

"A joint theoretical and practical training of the ship crew and Georgian coast guard personnel will be carried out," the Georgian Border Police said, adding that number of social and a community relations events are also planned.

Similar port calls are made for few times a year by the U.S. warships and are usually described by the officials as "routine friendly visits."
