President and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Hu Jintao has urged the military to improve
scientific and technological research to fulfill their mission in
the new era.
Hu, also general secretary of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China (CPC), made the remarks here on Friday
when he met with delegates from the Academy of Military
Sciences.
After briefings, Hu acknowledged the academy's contribution to
military modernization and asked it to vigorously promote the
development of military theory and national security
strategies.
Hu said building national defense capability was an onerous task
in a complicated and changing international situation.
Hu said the Chinese military must pay close attention to the
world's security situation and military development trend and
develop a road of scientific innovation with its own
characteristics.
