Wu Qian: The Chinese, Tanzanian and Mozambican militaries held the “Peace Unity 2024” joint exercise from July 29 to August 11. The Chinese side deployed a battalion of ground forces and 3 surface vessels to join the event. The troops were transported through domestically-built Y-20 aircraft. Over 1,100 service members and 6 vessels of Tanzania and Mozambique participated in the exercise. Aiming at jointly upholding regional peace and stability, this exercise witnessed large scale participating troops conducting comprehensive drills, demonstrating a high level of realistic combat readiness. The exercise was conducted both on land and at sea. In the operations on land, the Chinese and Tanzanian troops formed mixed teams, made operational decisions together, and jointly operated multiple weapon platforms in a joint counter-terrorism scenario. In the operations at sea, the Chinese vessels sailed from north to south along the eastern coast of Africa. During the voyage, they conducted joint training on the subject of the protection of the sea lanes of communication as well as joint patrols with the Tanzanian and Mozambican navies respectively. During the exercise, the Chinese side organized a series of events, such as the Chinese Culture Day, deck reception, and provided medical services and donated materials, which were warmly received by the local people.
中国与坦桑尼亚、莫桑比克是老朋友、好朋友。中国军队愿继续与包括坦、莫在内的非洲各国军队一道，发扬传统友谊，深化务实合作，为维护地区和平稳定贡献更多力量。
China, Tanzania and Mozambique are old and good friends. The Chinese military stands ready to work with militaries of African countries including Tanzania and Mozambique to carry forward traditional friendship and deepen pragmatic cooperation, so as to contribute more to regional peace and stability.
