In his speech, Hu pledged to step up military reforms, intensify
preparations for the military struggle, and strengthen the overall
building of the Second Artillery Force.
During his stay, the president, who is also general secretary of the
Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the
Central Military Commission (CMC), had a meeting with senior officers of
the Second Artillery Force, with the company of its commander Jing
Zhiyuan and commissar Peng Xiaofeng.
Hu saluted all those who have contributed to founding and developing the
Second Artillery Force. He said the founding of strategic missile troops
and the Second Artillery Force 40 years ago was "a major strategic
decision" made by the CPC Central Committee and the CMC.
"The Second Artillery Force has gone down an uncommon road since its
founding 40 years ago," said the leader, "The Party and the people will
have your achievements in mind for ever."
Noting that the Second Artillery Force shoulders a glorious mission and
important duties in the new century and the new period, Hu said the Party
Central Committee and the CMC have attached great importance to and
pinned high hopes on the development of the Second Artillery Force.
Those who joined in the study tour were CMC Vice Chairmen Guo Boxiong,
Cao Gangchuan and Xu Caihou, and CMC Members Liang Guanglie, Li Jinai,
Liao Xilong, Chen Bingde and Qiao Qingchen.
Hu and other military leaders watched an art performance entitled "Song
of Dong Feng (Eastward Wind)", which tells about the 40-year experience
of the Second Artillery Force in an artistic way.
