International Military Cooperation

Military cooperation and exchanges are authorized by China's National Defense Law. China's military cooperation with other countries is intended to further our respective and shared strategic interests through joint operations, exchanges and collaboration. It is an important element of foreign engagements of the Party and the state, and an important area of defense and military development. Areas of cooperation include:

security dialog and consultation;

joint international military operations including counter-terrorism operations;

joint military exercises and training;

military equipment and technology cooperation;

personnel exchanges;

international arms control; and

providing international public security goods, including UN peacekeeping operations, naval escort missions, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) operations.

China's military is committed to a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept. Its extensive international military cooperation is intended to build foreign military relations featuring non-alliance and non-confrontation that target no third party. It aims to create fair and effective collective security and mutual trust mechanisms. Expanding military and security cooperation helps create a safe and secure environment conducive to national peaceful development and contributes to world peace and regional stability.

China's military will continue to explore new areas and new formats of collaboration with other militaries, make more friends, and strengthen cooperation at all levels.
