"Chinese military forces, established under the leadership of the Communist Party of China in Aug. 1, 1927, has experienced tough fights and wars and contributed to the security of the nation, of the Asian-pacific region and the world at large," said ambassador Liu Guchang.
Liu spoke highly of the military ties between China and Russia, especially joint drills held last year and a joint exercise of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) members set for next month in Russia.
The exercise, dubbed "Peace Mission 2007," will be carried out in Chelyabinsk in Russia's Ural Mountains region and in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from Aug. 8 to 17.
All six SCO members -- China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan -- will take part.
