Humanitarian medical services, notably, have become a hallmark of the Chinese navy. China"s naval hospital ships have visited more than 50 countries and regions and provided health services to around 400,000 people. These efforts have been widely welcomed by local populations, serving as acts and symbols of peace, friendship and goodwill.
The Chinese navy has also expanded its international engagement through port visits and joint exercises. The Chinese navy has hosted over 300 foreign naval delegations, and its vessels have visited more than 90 countries. Joint exercises and training operations have enhanced mutual trust and operational cooperation. Such exchanges help contribute to a more stable maritime security environment.
The Chinese navy will continue to actively shoulder its international responsibilities, safeguard the security of international waterways, and provide more public goods for maritime security.
Oceans are vital to human survival and development and connect peoples of different countries into a community with a shared future. The activities and missions of the Chinese navy align with China"s initiatives and visions, including the Belt and Road Initiative that aims to promote connectivity, cooperation and exchange, along with the joint building of a maritime community with a shared future.
While resolutely safeguarding China"s sovereignty, security and development interests, the Chinese military remains a staunch force for world peace and makes its contributions to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
With mankind facing complex challenges, the need for cooperation has never been greater. Countries should strengthen dialogue and exchange on maritime affairs, deepen practical cooperation between navies, and pursue a win-win path of maritime security for global peace and prosperity.
