Chairman Hu Jintao pointed out that Inner Mongolia is located in the
frontier of North China and stands on a very important strategic position. All
military units stationed in Inner Mongolia should set high standards on and do a
good job in doing the preparedness for military struggles and managing and
controlling the frontier defense work, and continually enhance the capabilities
of the troops to perform their duties in light of the arrangement and
requirements made at the 17th CPC National Congress in terms of the national

the army and the people, and the unity of all nationalities so as to make fresh
contributions to the development and rejuvenation of Inner Mongolia and the
