The Chinese army not only shows its responsibility by maintaining world peace, but also maintains world peace through its own development.

From holding a defense forum to carrying out joint exercises and training; from escorting into the ocean to going abroad for peacekeeping; from providing foreign medical care to implementing material assistance... Looking back on the peaceful footprint of the Chinese army in the past year, the military delegates participating in the National Two Sessions said that in Xi Jinping's idea of strengthening the military and Xi Jinping's diplomatic thought Under the guidance, the Chinese army has always been a united of knowledge and action, and adhered to promises. It is a contributor to world security and stability, a promoter of global security governance, a builder of the human security community, and contributes China's strength to maintaining world peace.

Build a bridge of communication

"In the face of unprecedented changes in the world and the expectations of the people of the world for security and stability, China practices the Global Security Initiative, constantly consolidates the consensus of all parties, promotes the elimination of the root causes of international conflicts, improves global security governance, and makes unremitting efforts to build a world of lasting peace and universal security."

"On September 13 last year, the 11th Beijing Xiangshan Forum opened, and President Xi's congratulatory letter caused a warm response among the Chinese and foreign guests attending the meeting." Nie, a representative from the Academy of Military Sciences, said, "The forum was attended by more than 1,800 guests from more than 100 countries, official representatives of international organizations, experts, scholars and observers from various countries. Focusing on the theme of 'building peace together and sharing the future', we have gathered broader international consensus and contributed more effective solutions. We have achieved the goal of deepening mutual trust, enhancing cooperation, and providing assistance for promoting the implementation of global security initiatives and jointly responding to international security challenges.

"In recent years, the international influence of the Beijing Xiangshan Forum has continued to rise, and it has gradually become a well-known high-end security and defense dialogue platform at home and abroad." Some military representatives who have attended the meeting many times and communicated with foreign guests on the spot said that the topics of the forum cover regional security cooperation, outer space security governance, artificial intelligence security, combating terrorism and other aspects. Although the views and positions of representatives of various countries sometimes differ, it is generally believed that the above-mentioned security should be effectively addressed. The full challenge cannot be achieved by a single country alone. Only through cooperation between countries can a solid foundation and truly lasting common security be achieved.

Communicate frankly, seek common and preserve differences; understand each other and expand consensus. In this regard, several military representatives mentioned a special lecture last year.

"The Chinese characters 'and', on the left side represents 'food' and on the right side, represents 'a mouth'. Peace is to let everyone have food to eat." In September last year, a Chinese defense policy lecture was held at the Higher Defense Academy of the Brazilian Ministry of Defense. The vivid narration of Wu Qian, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense of China, aroused the resonance of the audience. Paul Roberto, an analyst at the Brazilian Military Strategy Research Center, said that he clearly understood many of the essences of China's defense policy from the lecture, and agreed with the same view: from the perspective of the community of human destiny, the world is full of opportunities; from the perspective of Cold War thinking and zero-sum game, the world is always full of Challenge.

Take the initiative to build a bridge of communication and declare the principled position with frankness, which is the original intention of the Chinese army to hold more and more similar forums and propaganda at home and abroad.

Military representatives said that in the past year, from the 19th Annual Meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum to the 5th International Forum on Army Military Education; from the 4th Military Medical Special Conference of the China-Africa Peace and Security Forum to the 10th Sun Tzu International Seminar on Art of War, the Chinese army has continuously built a communication platform and improved the communication machine. System and promote pragmatic cooperation, so that the international community can have a deeper understanding of China's peace concept and security ideas, which has been fully affirmed by all parties.

Provide security support

Today's world is not peaceful. The century-old situation is accelerating, the world situation is turbulent, and global challenges are emerging one after another. At this time, the more the Chinese army, as a powerful, civilized and peaceful, is more committed to enterprising and responsible; China's actions, which embody the concept of common destiny, are more and more highly expected by the international community.

On February 1 this year, two suspected pirate boats suddenly approached quickly near the commercial ship Ruyisong, which was sailing in a sea in the Gulf of Aden. After receiving a request for protection from merchant ships, the 47th escort formation of the Chinese Navy immediately sent Baotou ships to warn and deter, and escorted the Ruyisong and other merchant ships safely through the Gulf of Aden by regional escort.

"I'm proud of my comrades-in-arms' responsibility for peace." Representative Li Pu, who participated in the escort mission with the formation five years ago, introduced that since the escort operation was launched in December 2008, the Chinese Navy has sent 47 batches of more than 100 sub-ships to the Gulf of Aden and the waters of Somalia to carry out missions. As of the beginning of March this year, more than 1,659 batches of 7,300 Chinese and foreign ships have been escorted, and nearly 100 ships of all kinds have been rescued and protected, of which more than 50% are foreign ships, protecting the safety and smoothness of the international commercial "golden waterway" with practical actions.

The international peacekeeping battlefield is also an important battlefield for the Chinese army to show and maintain the parallel power of the world. In the face of the complex environment filled with smoke, the Blue Helmets dared to go backwards again and again.

At the end of April last year, the camp of a foreign helicopter detachment of the UNIFIL was attacked, the dormitory area was destroyed, and the personnel of the detachment were forced to withdraw. Soon after, as the only construction engineer detachment of the UNIFIL, my 22nd batch of peacekeeping construction engineer detachment to Lebanon was ordered to undertake the construction of the stone cage protective wall in the camp area. In the face of the fierce gunfire in the surrounding area and various unexpected risks, the officers and soldiers overcame difficulties to speed up the construction while fully protecting themselves. They successfully completed the task in less than two days, which was praised by foreign friends.

At present, nearly 1,800 Chinese soldiers are on duty in Lebanon, South Sudan and other peacekeeping mission areas and United Nations headquarters. In my unit, many comrades-in-arms have carried out medical peacekeeping missions. Gao Rui, a representative from the United Security Force, said, "In the face of the smoke of war, they guarded peace, bravely took responsibility, and walked fearlessly."

"Safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, the mission of the people's army in the new era shoulders." Zhang Heng, a representative from a department of the navy, once went to the military competition outside the country as a military observer. He said, "Looking forward to the future journey, we should always keep in mind the instructions of the Party and the people, constantly strengthen training, practice excellent skills, and successfully complete the tasks of peacekeeping, escort, international military exchanges, etc., on a broader stage. Highlight the responsibility of the Chinese army and show the demeanor of Chinese soldiers.

Pass on the passion

At the end of September last year, the Chinese Navy and Hefangzhou Hospital Ship, which carried out the mission of "Harmony Mission-2024", visited Gabon, Africa, again after 7 years. On the wharf, people who need medical treatment are waiting in an orderly manner.

The "Operation Bright" to treat eye diseases is a key part of the previous visits of the square boat hospital ship. Ombre, a 9-year-old child, became the youngest cataract patient admitted to the hospital ship. Under the careful treatment of Chinese military doctors, the boy, who had become introverted for a while due to the visual impairment of his right eye, showed a bright smile after the successful cataract restoration surgery.

According to statistics, in this mission, the square boat hospital ship lasted 215 days, with a total voyage of more than 30,000 nautical miles. It has successively visited 13 Asian and African countries and provided humanitarian medical services, and has received more than 80,000 patients, refreshing the record of the "harmony mission" mission time and visiting countries.

"Since joining the list in 2008, the square boat hospital ship has carried out a series of 'harmony mission' tasks 10 times, receiving more than 370,000 people from all over the world, which has won the high recognition of the visiting government and the general public." The representatives from the Navy said that the deep blue echo from the square boat hospital ship was a vivid interpretation of the People's Navy holding high the banner of peace and friendship, devoting itself to the humanitarian cause, and actively fulfilling the responsibility of the army of a responsible power.

Some military representatives said that last year was also impressive, and the People's Army's "Peace Train", which started the journey of peace, friendship and health.

In November last year, a 150-member "Peace Train" medical team of our army departed from Chongqing and arrived in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, along the China-Laos Railway. After completing the joint humanitarian medical rescue exercise, the Chinese side participated in the medical service detachment to go to the 103 hospital in Vientiane, the 107 hospital in Luang Prabang and the military district hospital in Luang Nanta Province respectively to carry out activities such as free medical consultation, health examination, specialist surgery and academic exchange. A total of nearly 300 Lao military and civilians were treated. 0 people, more than 1,200 Laofang medical personnel were trained, which was warmly welcomed by the Lao military and civilians.

A representative from the Joint Security Force introduced that this is not only a practical action to implement the important consensus on cooperation between the two militaries of China and Laos, but also a powerful measure to deepen and expand exchanges and cooperation in the field of health services between the two milities, further deepening the cooperation and exchange between the two milities, and enhancing the traditional friendship between the two countries.

"Give fragrance in the most Chinese way, and show feelings with the warmest actions." Representative Chen Weiwei, who once went to Africa to carry out foreign medical missions, said, "The Chinese army has always been a firm defender of world peace; Chinese military doctors have always contributed to the construction of a human health community."

The twilight is vast and pine, and the chaotic clouds are still calm. In the face of the current chaotic world, China unswervingly stands on the right side of history, stands on the side of human progress, and injects stability into the uncertain world with China's certainty. As a firm force in safeguarding national security interests and maintaining world peace, the Chinese army will always obey the call and continue to make more contributions to maintaining world peace and write more glorious chapters with the spirit of enterprising responsibility.
