A forum of the Chengdu Military Region on formulation of the people's air defence policy and regulations, together with a briefing on the ninth five-year plan for the people's air defence work, opened in Lhasa on the morning of 22nd June. Gyamco, executive vice-chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Regional Government and vice-chairman of the People's Air Defence Committee of the Chengdu Military Region, attended the meeting. He first thanked the relevant departments at various levels for providing energetic support and assistance to Tibet's people's air defence work.
Gyamco said: The people's air defence work has a bearing on the development, stability and security of a region or a country. Since Tibet is at the front of the antisplittist struggle, certain foreign hostile forces are actively supporting the Dalai clique's activities of splitting the motherland and are bent on subjugating us Chinese: wang wo zhi xin bu sij. For this reason, the people's air defence work has become even more important.
Gyamco emphasized: We should be prepared for danger in time of peace and know the strategic importance of the people's air defence work. Rapid progress has been made in the people's air defence work in Tibet, but it is still far from being able to meet the changing situation. The people's air defence department should make persistent efforts to ensure a smooth implementation of Tibet's ninth five-year plan for the people's air defence work.
Dong Guishan, deputy commander of the Tibet Military District, attended the meeting. During the five-day meeting, the responsible comrades of the people's air defence committees of the Chengdu Military Region and nine provinces and cities, including Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, will exchange experience in the formulation of people's air defence policies and regulations, and report and discuss the ninth five-year plans of the people's air defence offices of various provinces and cities.
