CHINA-PLA: MILITARY DIPLOMACY

Senior military officers from 19 countries in Asia and the Pacific have gathered in Shanghai for a regional workshop on the law of armed conflict at sea to be held from May 8 to11, 2018. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and National Defence University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) are jointly hosting the workshop.
As many as 35 military officers will discuss a range of operational issues related to naval warfare and current issues about humanitarian action at sea during the four days. Major General Zhao Wenhua, Vice Principal of the National Defence University said "Promoting the law of armed conflict is an important part of the PLA's political tasks. The world today is undergoing profound and complicated changes. The trend for peace, development, cooperation and win-win situations is mixed with increasing uncertainties threatening world peace and development, with regional conflicts and local wars breaking out one after another. The law of armed conflict is facing many new challenges, both in theory and in practice. It's necessary to strengthen communication among countries in this regard." He added 
"The PLA has integrated the law of armed conflict into the curricula of its academies and universities, invited the ICRC to provide training, and organized simulation exercises, which achieved positive results."
