Chinanews, Beijing, July 30 – In May this year, Liang Guanglie, Chief of the General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), visited South Korea, Mongolia and Vietnam. His visit was viewed by observers as “a positive sign for China to promote good relations with its neighboring countries”, since China resumed its visit to South Korea after five years of suspension and it also resumed its relations with the Mongolia and Vietnam after 10 years of suspension.

China has always observed the principle of “building friendly relations and partnership¹ with its neighbors. ” Promoting talks between senior leaders, expanding personnel training and strengthening cooperation in border and coastal² defense³ are regarded as things that are needed by both China and its neighboring countries.

China has always treated its neighbors in a friendly manner. In May this year, when Chief-of-staff M. Singh of the Indian Army paid a visit to China, officials from the two countries held dialogues to discuss cooperations in defense and security field. The dialogues gave a further impetus⁴ to the bilateral⁵ relations between the two countries.

In April this year, Ehsan Ul Haq, chairman of the Joint⁶ Chiefs of Staff of Pakistan, led a delegation⁷ to visit China. The delegation consisted of military officers from the Pakistani National Defense University and the Pakistani Naval⁸ Institute. Later, Chinese naval officers and experts on military technology paid a visit to Pakistan in return. Senior officials from the two countries held sincere and friendly talks during the mutual⁹ visits. Such friendly visits added new impetus to the everlasting¹⁰ friendly relations between the two countries.

It is often said that two countries can really realize a relationship of peace and friendship only if the senior military leaders from the two countries can shake hands. During the first half of this year, an Indian naval fleet visited Qingdao in China and a Pakistani naval vessels¹¹ paid a visit to Shanghai. During these two visits, both India and Pakistan saw the openness and sincerity¹² of the Chinese armed forces.

In regard to the Sino-Japanese relations, during the first half of the year, a delegation of the Japanese Joint Chiefs of Staff School and Defense Research Institute, a delegation of the young and middle-aged¹³ Japanese military officers, and a delegation led by former head of the Japanese Defense Agency paid visits to China one after another.

In addition to these visits, China sent an educational research team and a logistic management team to visit Singapore. Secretary-general of the National Defense Ministry¹⁴ of Indonesia and its chief of the naval staff paid visits to China. Delegations¹⁵ of China's Guangxi Regional Military Area Command and the Yunnan Provincial¹⁶ Military Area Command visited Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. In return, leaders of the frontier troops from Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar also visited China. China also discussed about defense affairs with military leaders from the Philippines and Mongolia.

In China, treating neighbors in a friendly way has become a tradition that has been carried on through generations. It is the responsibility of Chinese military diplomacy¹⁷ to maintain stable and friendly relations with countries around China. On the whole, the great majority of the people wish to see harmony maintained in Asia, and the world as a whole.
