Chinese Defence Minister Chang Wanquan left on Sunday for official visits to Sri Lanka and Nepal, the Defence Ministry said.
The ministry, in a short statement, said Deputy Naval Chief Su Zhiqian would accompany Chang. It gave no other details.
China's Defence Ministry said in December that China would hold its first military drills with Nepal in 2017.
In Sri Lanka, Gen Wanquan will meet all the top government leaders and also interact with the officers of the Defence Staff College.
The purpose of the visit to Sri Lanka is to re-establish military ties with Colombo, according to local media reports.
