On August 1st, the 98th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, municipal leaders of Dongying participated in the “Military Day” activities and attended the Military-Civilian Exchange Conference. On behalf of the municipal leadership and the people of Dongying City, Yang Guoqiang, Secretary of CPC Dongying Municipal Committee, extended festive greetings to all officers and soldiers stationed in Dongying, including militia members and reserve forces. He also expressed sincere regards to retired military personnel, families of martyrs, veterans, and other entitled groups across Dongying City.
Among other attendees were Chen Bichang, Deputy Secretary of CPC Dongying Municipal Committee and Mayor of Dongying City, Sun Zaojun, Deputy Secretary of CPC Dongying Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the CPC Dongying Municipal Committee, Tian Heyou, Director of the Standing Committee of Dongying Municipal People’s Congress, and Liu Meihua, Chairperson of CPPCC Dongying Municipal Committee.
At Dongying Militia Military Training Base, municipal leaders observed military training demonstrations, toured the weapons and equipment exhibition, and received on-site national defense education.
During the Conference, the Dongying Military Sub-District Command of the People’s Liberation Army reported on its efforts to enhance combat readiness training and support local socioeconomic development. Speeches were delivered by primary-level officers and soldiers, veterans of the War Against Japanese Aggression, retired military personnel, and model representatives known for their patriotic support for the military.
After hearing the speeches, Yang Guoqiang noted that in recent years, Dongying has thoroughly implemented the guiding principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech during his inspection of Shandong Province and the important instructions during his visit to Dongying City. Parties at all levels throughout Dongying have upheld the “Four Highs” (high-level market economy basic system, high-quality market subject, high-standard market system and high-efficiency macroeconomic governance) and “Two Highers” (the income growth rate of poverty-stricken population is higher than that of local farmers, and that of farmers in poverty-stricken areas is higher than that of farmers in the whole country and the entire region), pursued excellence with innovation and hard work, accelerated the implementation of the major national strategic projects of the Yellow River, and significantly advanced industrial transformation, thus making notable progress in public welfare initiatives while ensuring the sustained harmony and stability of the overall social situation. These achievements would not have been possible without the strong support of officers and soldiers stationed in Dongying and the selfless dedication of military personnel.
As emphasized by Yang Guoqiang, supporting national defense and military development is a duty-bound political responsibility of local Party committees and governments. We shall thoroughly study and implement the Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Military and General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on military-civilian unity work, shoulder the political responsibility of upholding the Party’s leadership over the armed forces, provide forward-leaning services to support military readiness and combat preparedness, do well in veteran affairs work solidly and effectively, and continuously elevate the standards of military-civilian unity work. We shall further consolidate the strong unity between the military and the government, and between the military and the people, resolutely safeguarding the “Two Establishments” (the establishment of Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and the defining of the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era) and implementing the “Two Upholds” (upholding Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and upholding the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership) with pragmatic actions. Yang Guoqiang also expressed his hope that the stationed military and police forces would continue to support Dongying’s reform and development, actively participate in rural revitalization, social welfare programs, public safety initiatives, and take the lead in emergency response and disaster relief efforts, thus contributing further to Dongying’s socioeconomic development.
Other leaders attending the Conference were municipal leaders, leaders of the Dongying Military Sub-District Command of the People’s Liberation Army, including Cheng Qiulin, Zhang Yu, Li Dongqi and Bian Zhiwei, relevant military officers, as well as principals of relevant municipal departments.
