Print Edition
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping yesterday said that civil air defense should serve as an “indestructible shield” protecting the Chinese people, calling it a key part of the country’s development in the next five years.
Xi made the remarks while meeting with representatives attending a national conference on civil air defense.
“Civil air defense is a long-term national strategy... It has contributed to safeguarding national security and facilitating economic and social development since the country’s reform and opening up,” Xi said.
Xi urged those working in civil air defense to always remember their responsibility and make new contributions to the building of a stronger modern civil air defense system.
The civil air defense system should improve their capabilities, providing a shield against air raids during wartime, serving the public in peace time and offering support in case of emergencies, Xi said.
Xi congratulated 65 cities, 35 groups and 45 individuals, citing their outstanding contributions to civil air defense.
During the conference, Premier Li Keqiang called for the implementation of a strategy integrating defense with economic development, building civil air defense facilities as part of a plan to develop urban underground space.
