✨ Celebrating 25 Years of Commitment! ✨
It's been a remarkable journey! Over the past 25 years, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Macao Garrison has stood as a pillar of strength, ensuring the prosperity and stability of Macao. 💪🇲🇴
According to Wu Qian, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, the garrison is more dedicated than ever to maintaining the trust of Macao's residents and safeguarding the region's bright future. 🌟
Since their deployment in 1999 following Macao's return to China, the garrison has been all about action! They've successfully carried out defense duties, effectively safeguarding national sovereignty and security. 🛡️
But they're not just about military might. The PLA Macao Garrison has consistently enhanced combat readiness through rigorous training and joint exercises, staying sharp to respond promptly to any potential threats. 🚁
What makes them truly stand out is their connection with the community. 💖 Each year, they open their military camps during the May Day holidays, inviting locals to step into their world. They've also hosted receptions on the PLA's founding anniversary, spreading goodwill and strengthening bonds with Macao residents.
The garrison's community service is on point! From free blood donations to disaster relief efforts, they've shown up when it counts. So far, around 1,000 officers and soldiers have participated in disaster relief, they've provided flag-raising training to over 13,000 individuals, and their military museum has welcomed more than 157,000 visitors. 🎖️🏥
Wu Qian highlighted that throughout their deployment, the garrison has been run in accordance with the law, strictly abiding by regulations and discipline. It's no wonder they've earned a reputation as a strong and disciplined force in the hearts of the local people. 🏅
Looking ahead, the PLA Macao Garrison is all set to continue being that reliable friend and protector, ensuring Macao's prosperity and stability for years to come! Here's to many more years of dedication and partnership! 🎉
