It has become a significant platform for military of different countries to present themselves, boost friendship and expand their influence. Known as the "Olympics for the military", the Games has attracted global attention and interests.

Since the successful bid in May 2017, the Chinese government and military have upheld the motto of "friendship through sport" and adhered to the principle of hosting a "green, inclusive, open and clean" Games. With the integration of a global perspective, the Olympic standard and Chinese characteristics, all the preparatory work has been completed with high quality.

"This year, the slogan 'Military Glory, World Peace' expresses the hopes that athletes of different countries could display the sports spirit of tenacity and let the power of sports dispel the shadow of war, bridge communications between different cultures and bring together people's heart for peace," Xi said.

Xi added that China would strive to make the Games into an international gathering of peace that encourages soldiers to compete on fair grounds and facilitates exchanges and mutual learning of diverse military cultures.

Xi underlined that the Chinese military seeks to take this Games as an opportunity to promote innovative development of military cooperation, enhance exchanges with foreign militaries, broaden practical cooperation in all fields and fulfill its international obligations.
