On Friday afternoon, Xi reviewed the troops and met with representatives of the military personnel.
He urged the military personnel to enhance defense capabilities in all aspects and contribute more to breaking new ground in the practice of “one country, two systems” with Macao characteristics.

Highlighting the need to unwaveringly uphold the Party’s absolute leadership over the military, Xi stressed efforts to comprehensively strengthen military discipline and maintain high levels of unity, security and stability in the armed forces.
