Safety is the key to a big country. National security is the foundation of national rejuvenation.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of President Xi Jinping's overall view of national security. Today, we welcome the ninth National Security Education Day for All. The theme of this year's event is "the 10th Anniversary of Overall National Security Concept · Innovation Leadership". In recent days, the military and local governments have carried out a variety of publicity and education activities to publicize the overall national security concept, strive to improve the national security awareness and literacy of the whole people, pool the consensus and strength to safeguard national security, and constantly enhance the sense of mission and responsibility to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has complied with the trend of the times, from the strategic height of adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, combined the Marxist theory of national security with contemporary Chinese security practices and China's excellent traditional strategic culture, and creatively put forward the overall concept of national security. The concept of overall national security is the first major strategic thought in the history of our Party that has been established as the guiding ideology of national security work, the latest achievement of the sinicization of Marxist national security theory, an important part of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, and the fundamental adherence and action guide for national security work in the new era. The whole party and the whole country have thoroughly implemented the overall national security concept, unswervingly followed the path of national security with Chinese characteristics, and the national security work has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes, providing a strong guarantee for the prosperity and long-term stability of the party and the country.
It is the common way of the country to be prepared without fear. In today's world, turmoil is intertwined, changes in the past century have accelerated, international political disputes and military conflicts have erupted in many places, the instability and uncertainty of China's security situation have increased, and the task of safeguarding national security has become more arduous and onerous, posing new and higher requirements for improving the ability and level of national security education. On the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, we must fully understand the special importance and realistic urgency of national security education from the political height of doing well in the two major events of development and security, and earnestly take the comprehensive strengthening of national security education as a fundamental, long-term and strategic project to enhance the national security awareness and quality of all people, Make caring for national security and safeguarding national security the ideological consensus and action consciousness of the whole party, the whole army and the whole society, guarantee the new development pattern with the new security pattern, realize the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security, and ensure the smooth progress of socialist modernization.
A strong country must have a strong military, and a strong military can ensure national security. National defense and army building are the strong backing of national security. In the national security system, military security plays a vital role as a pillar and guarantee. With reliable military security, political security, homeland security, economic security and other security can be underpinned, and overall national security can be strongly supported. Without military security and a strong army, national security cannot be talked about. In the face of profound changes in the national security environment, the requirements of the times for building a strong country and a strong military, and the growing military competition, only by building a strong national defense and a strong military commensurate with China's international status and national security and development interests can national security and national rejuvenation have the foundation.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a key year to achieve the goals and tasks of the 14th Five Year Plan, and a key year to fight hard to achieve the centennial goal of building the military. The whole army should take the National Security Education Day as an opportunity to guide officers and soldiers to carefully study and understand President Xi's important statement on the overall national security concept and scientific judgment on the national security situation, and further enhance officers and soldiers' national security awareness and literacy. We should combine the consolidation and expansion of theme education achievements, highlight the major achievements in national security work in the new era, and do a good job in the education and publicity of the overall national security concept according to local conditions. We should have a deep understanding of the role of national defense and army building in the overall national security strategy, strengthen the education of our army's fundamental functions and situation and combat readiness, enhance our awareness of hardship, crisis and war, adhere to the bottom line thinking, focus on training and combat preparedness, constantly improve our strategic ability to safeguard national security and development, and be fully prepared to deal with various complex and difficult situations at any time, We will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and provide strong strategic support for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization.
