About 3,000 PLA garrison soldiers took part in the parade on Sunday, which is also the 77th founding anniversary of the PLA.

Commander of the PLA Garrison in Hong Kong Wang Jitang inspected the soldiers before the parade. The parade featured formations of troops of the land, naval and air forces, followed by formations of armored vehicles and helicopters.

A PLA official said earlier that the parade was aimed at displaying the national sovereignty, strength of national defense and the central government's power and determination to safeguard national and regional security.

He said he hoped that the parade would display the PLA's modernization level and help promote close relationship between the army and the Hong Kong people.

According to schedule, the PLA Garrison in Hong Kong will hold a reception Sunday evening to mark the 77th founding anniversary of the PLA. Some 200 guests including principal officials of the HKSAR government and leaders of the representative offices of the central government organs in Hong Kong will be present. Commander Wang Jitang will deliver a speech at the reception.
