My presence here today marks a tribute to the commitment, the support and contributions to the promotion of bilateral military exchanges and cooperation between Kenya and China. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Chinese People s Liberation Army (CPLA) is a force that is respected for its rich history, traditions and peace keeping capacities. Since the establishment of NEW 2

3 China, the CPLA has grown from a mainly army-formed military force into a modern military, combining the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Second Artillery Force. We applaud the CPLA for its proactive and steady push towards reforms in line with the requirements of performing its missions. Its active participation in national economic development, emergency rescue and disaster relief, maintaining social harmony and stability 3

4 according to law, and endeavours to protect Chinese national development interests.
