Xi calls for strong bonding with army, Party and public

PRESIDENT Xi Jinping has called for renewed efforts to boost solidarity between the military, government and the public, while meeting with award winners yesterday.

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, met with representatives from model organizations and individuals who were in Beijing to receive awards for promoting military-civilian solidarity.

Premier Li Keqiang also met with the representatives.

Calling for relentless efforts to maintain military-civilian solidarity, Xi called on the military and civilian sectors to be like-minded and work in synergy, which would help the country realize the great rejuvenation of the nation.

Xi said the tradition of boosting military-civilian solidarity was a characteristic of the CPC, the military and the people of China.

The seamless solidarity between the military, government and public is an important guarantee for China to weather storms and march from triumph to triumph, Xi said.

Noting the world is undergoing profound changes, Xi said, “The work to boost military-civilian solidarity should play its role as bridge and bond.”

Calling the ongoing national defense and military reform “across-the-board” and “revolutionary,” Xi said it commanded support from all sectors.

Xi called for solid content and diversified forms of the work to promote military-civilian unity, in order to support the Party and state work, as well as the construction of national defense and armed forces.

Premier Li called for setting up military-civilian coordination mechanisms for services in peacetime and supporting the front in wartime.

He underscored the allocation of priority to use of land for military purposes and construction of roads for national defense needs, while improving support facilities for war readiness and medical uses, as well as public services.

Li ordered special measures and policies to ensure demobilized soldiers are offered jobs, saying that Party and government agencies, state-owned enterprises and public institutions, especially centrally administered SOEs, should employ them.

Awards were presented to 416 cities, districts and counties, 64 organizations, as well as 100 individuals.
