The government will mobilize various social resources to support the modernization and various military demands of the army, said Hui at a meeting here.

It will also work to better protect the legal rights and interests of servicemen and their families, he said.

Hui also hoped the armed forces could contribute to the development and stability of the Chinese society.

To develop close army-civilian relations, the government and armed forces should work together to solve problems that common people and soldiers care most and well settle the disputes between the army and localities, so as to well safeguard the fundamental interests of the army and civilians, he said.
