On the afternoon of November 14, Colonel Jiang Bin, deputy director of the Press Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, released a statement on recent military-related issues. Reporter: On the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Air Force, the 6th International Student Week of the Air Force has successfully concluded. We have noticed that the Chinese Air Force has been increasing its various foreign exchanges. Could the spokesperson introduce the relevant situations? Jiang Bin: November 11 is the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Air Force. Over the past 76 years, the Chinese Air Force's foreign exchanges have evolved from a single exchange object to friends all over the world, and from a focus on technology introduction to comprehensive and multi-level open cooperation, reflecting the changes in China's international status, exchange patterns, and air force capabilities. Especially in the new era, the Chinese Air Force's foreign exchange and cooperation have developed rapidly with fruitful results. Initiatives such as the China-Pakistan "Eagle" joint training, the China-Thailand "Eagle Strike" joint training, and the China-Russia joint strategic air patrol have become brand projects for enhancing friendship, mutual trust, and honing combat capabilities; the Y-20 aircraft has crossed thousands of miles multiple times to deliver disaster relief supplies and the deep friendship of the Chinese people to multiple countries on four continents; an increasing number of foreign air forces colleagues have come to China for visits, inspections, learning, and exchanges, jointly discussing cooperation and development plans. Friendship knows no distance, even a thousand miles apart, we are still neighbors. The Chinese Air Force, striving towards becoming a world-class force, will soar with a more vigorous posture and fly with determination. Together with air forces from around the world, we will use fighter jets to bridge friendships, use resolve to chart the course of hope, use cooperation to defend the peaceful sky, and contribute to building a community of shared future for mankind.
