Advancing the Modernization of National Defense and the Military is a Common Cause of the entire Party, the whole country, and the people
Today is the 23rd National Defense Education Day. National defense is a security guarantee for the survival and development of a country, and national defense education is a fundamental project to consolidate national defense and strengthen the people's army. Strengthening national defense education for all is of great and far-reaching significance in consolidating the will and strength of the entire nation, accelerating the modernization of national defense and the military, and realizing the dream of building a strong country and a strong military.
A strong country must have a strong military, and a strong military can ensure national security.From revising the National Defense Law, the National Defense Education Law, and the Military Service Law, issuing the Opinions on Strengthening and Improving National Defense Education in the New Era, to establishing Martyrs' Day and National Memorial Day, establishing a system for honoring the achievements of the Party, the state, and the military, and holding a series of major celebrations and commemorative activities, measures have greatly boosted the morale of the Party, the military, and the people. At the same time, the installation of domestically produced aircraft carriers, new nuclear submarines, Dongfeng series missiles and other heavy weapons by major powers, the determination of border soldiers to defend national security to the death, joint military exercises held by various branches of the military, as well as various national defense education activities on campus and military camp opening activities, further stimulated the strong emotions of the whole society to love the party, love the military, and gather the ideological consensus of the whole society to care about national defense, love national defense, build national defense, and defend national defense. This promoted the continuous consolidation of national defense education, the continuous enhancement of national defense awareness, and the stronger social atmosphere of caring for and supporting national defense and military construction.
At present, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the instability and uncertainty of China's national security situation have increased. The task of maintaining national security and social stability has become more arduous and arduous. Strengthening and improving national defense education for all in the new era and raising national defense awareness for all are more realistic and urgent. On the new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, we must unify the prosperity of the country and the strengthening of the military, take national defense education as a strategic foundational work to enhance the quality of the people and strengthen the concept of national defense, vigorously promote national defense education for all to enter government agencies, schools, enterprises, communities, villages, military camps, and the internet, continuously strengthen awareness of crisis, crisis, and mission, effectively improve the consciousness of military civilian joint construction of modern national defense and the sense of responsibility to win the new era of people's war, and strive to write a brilliant chapter of military civilian unity and struggle in the new era, and jointly create the great cause of national rejuvenation.
