The intimate unity between the two great peoples¾ the Soviet People and the Chinese People¾ and between their armed forces is a reliable safeguard for peace in the Far East and in the world.

On February 22, 1953, a delegation of the PRC government headed by Premier Zhou Enlai, visited the Soviet Union's troops stationed in the Lushan region pursuant to the Sino-Soviet agreement on the joint administration of the region, which was a corollary agreement of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance signed on February 14, 1950. The delegation celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Union's armed forces with the Soviet troops in Lushun-Dalian. Mao's inscription was embroidered on a banner which was awarded by the delegation to the Soviet troops.
