"Peaceful development across the Taiwan Straits is in the interest of not only Taiwan people and Chinese mainlanders, but also the international community."

He also noted that the army should modernize and "informatize" further.

"With the world becoming more and more interdependent and with the increase in non-traditional security threats, we face new opportunities and challenges to maintain world peace and development," said Cao.

He reiterated that the PLA is an army of the people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Cao urged the armed forces to continue their efforts in social development by participating in natural disaster rescue operations, building a socialist countryside, developing the western regions and helping other key national projects.

"China's military will further strengthen cooperation and exchanges with foreign counterparts on the basis of equality, mutual respect and benefit," Cao said at the reception at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, which was also attended by military attachs from embassies in Beijing.
