In the long course of history, there are moments that are destined to be remembered. Today, we are witnessing one such moment – the establishment of the first overseas support base in Djibouti, East Africa, near the end of the reform of the continental army. This move is undoubtedly a big step of epoch-making significance, marking a solid and far-reaching step forward in the global strategic layout of the mainland.
Let's take a look back at this historic milestone. The process of establishing the PLA support base in Djibouti is a model of meticulous preparation and careful organization. This base is not just an ordinary military facility, it symbolizes the mainland's commitment to opening up to the outside world and peaceful development. At the inauguration ceremony, the soldiers of the advance unit dressed in neat uniforms and shouldered the glorious mission entrusted to them by the new era.
The atmosphere that day was unusually enthusiastic, and the military parade was grand and solemn. The four personnel teams and one equipment team are neatly arranged, showing the heroic posture and iron-blooded tenderness of the soldiers. This unit has an incomparable status and role in the army. Just like the PLA troops stationed in Hong Kong and Macao, the support base in Djibouti is united to jointly defend the interests of the mainland and world peace.
In order to express its high respect and firm confidence in the troops stationed abroad, the Central Military Commission has specially approved the troops of the base to wear the chest badges and special armbands of the troops stationed overseas. This is not only an affirmation of their courage and selfless dedication, but also a recognition of the importance of the strategic tasks they carry.
In detail, the PLA support base in Djibouti is mainly responsible for comprehensive support, guard reconnaissance, and ship escort. Although the scale is limited and the strength is lean, it generally highlights the characteristics of support and support, and can effectively respond to various emergencies when necessary.
There are many reasons for this: first, its geographical location is crucial, controlling the gateway to the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal at the entrance to the Red Sea; second, the PLA is already familiar with the region; second, the Government and people of Djibouti have always had a friendly attitude towards the mainland and expect to promote their economic and social development through cooperation.
As we have seen, the PLA support base in Djibouti is not only a simple military presence, but also represents a positive and enterprising attitude of seeking common development in exchanges and cooperation between the mainland, East Africa and the whole world. In the future, the base will become an indispensable part of strengthening international security cooperation, promoting regional stability and development, and serving the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
We look at this new chapter with confidence and look forward to the positive impact it will have on the world. After all, in an ever-changing international landscape, peace and cooperation have always been the most precious and worthwhile goals.
