Prior to the opening of the 7th Military World Games in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, Xi met with defense department and military leaders of participating countries and senior officials of the International Military Sports Council.

"This year, the slogan 'Military Glory, World Peace' expresses the hopes that athletes of different countries could display the sports spirit of tenacity and let the power of sports dispel the shadow of war, bridge communications between different cultures and bring together people's heart for peace," Xi said.

"China would like to join hands with foreign militaries to tackle the common security threats and challenges and make greater contribution to safeguarding world peace and building a community with a shared future for humanity," he added.
