The foreign vessels saluted Xi in their traditional manners as they passed by.
Prior to the parade, Xi, in the morning, proposed building a maritime community with a shared future.
In a group meeting with heads of the foreign delegations to the multinational naval events, Xi called for joint efforts to address common threats and challenges at sea.
"The blue planet humans inhabit is not divided into islands by the oceans, but is connected by the oceans to form a community with a shared future, where people of all countries share weal and woe," he said.
Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy Admiral Luechai Ruddit expressed belief that the concept and proposal of a maritime community with a shared future will promote cooperation among navies and contribute to maritime peace and prosperity.
On April 23, 1949, the PLA Navy was founded in a nation which suffered some 470 invasions by foreign powers from the sea between 1840 and 1949.
Seven decades later, it has grown from weak to strong, from coastal waters toward deep blue, evolving into China's "Great Wall" at sea consisting of five services and with both nuclear and conventional weapons.
With its growth, the PLA Navy has provided the world with more public goods for maritime security.
Since 2008, the navy has sent 32 fleets and more than 27,000 officers and soldiers to escort over 6,600 vessels, more than half of which were foreign ships.
