We see new opportunities for cooperation that can further enhance our joint efforts in promoting peace and security in Namibia and the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ngolo commended the contributions of Peng, describing him as a person who worked tirelessly to promote cooperation and understanding during his tenure in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed confidence that Shujun will build upon Peng\u2019s achievements and continue to strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation between the two countries and their armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>Shujun, the incoming Chinese defence attache\u0301, said that the friendship between China and Namibia has a long history.<\/p>\n<p>Shujun highlighted that the PLAC and the NDF have a lot in common, as both countries have made indelible contributions to their country\u2019s independence and development.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Shujun indicated that both countries are constantly fighting to protect the stability of their nations, the happiness of their people, and world peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been explicitly written into the Constitution of China. China has never provoked a war or conflict, nor has it ever invaded another country or taken an inch of land from others. No matter how strong it becomes in the future, China shall never threaten anyone, seek hegemony, or establish spheres of influence. But if attacked, we will counterattack,\u201d said Shujun.<\/p>\n<p>He reaffirmed China\u2019s commitment to the path of peaceful development and stated that the Chinese military remains committed to safeguarding regional and global security and stability.<\/p>\n<p>According to Shujun, his country actively supports United Nations peacekeeping operations and also participates in bilateral and multilateral security cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
