On July 21, the Chinese Embassy in Iran hosted a reception to celebrate the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). More than 120 people attended, including representatives from various sectors of Iranian society, ambassadors and military attachés.

In his remarks, Ambassador Cong Peiwu stated that China is widely recognized as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order. President Xi Jinping's four-point proposal on maintaining and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East has injected strong positive energy into the region's efforts to emerge from the shadow of war and achieve lasting peace. The PLA, as the people's army created and led by the Communist Party of China, is accelerating its development into a world-class military and will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, making greater contributions to world peace and development.
