BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Four contests of the International Army Games 2018 kicked off Sunday in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and east China's Fujian Province.
A total of 17 teams with 358 soldiers from 11 countries, including China, Belarus, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Russia, Venezuela and Zimbabwe, are participating in the contests that will conclude on Aug. 11.
Some other countries including Armenia and India have sent observers to the events.
Three of the contests, "Suvorov Attack," "Clear Sky" and "Safe Route", take place in Korla in Xinjiang.
It is the first time for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) ground force to host the "Safe Route" contest, which contains several stages such as traversing minefields and assembling mechanized bridges and involves forces from China, Pakistan, Russia and Uzbekistan.
"Seaborne Assault" contest is hosted by the PLA Navy for the first time. Contestants from Iran, Russia, Sudan, Venezuela and China will compete in this event that consists of obstacle course, survival trail and relay race in Quanzhou, Fujian.
Since 2014, International Army Games have been successfully held for 4 times. Currently, the games cover over 20 professional areas of the army, navy and air force. With the participation of about 30 countries, the international influence of the games has become greater each year.
Many countries, armed forces and military personnel long for presenting strength of their military forces through this platform, said Kong Jun, head of the "Seaborne Assault" organization committee and commander of the PLA Navy Marine Corps.
"We hope that through this event, we can further improve our mutual understanding and trust, deepen our military cooperation and exchanges, consolidate our friendship, and make even greater contributions to world and regional peace and stability," said Ding Yi, deputy commander of the PLA Navy.
"It is a precious opportunity to take part in this event to compete with my foreign counterparts," said Xu Xiaofei from the PLA Navy Marine Corps. "I very much look forward to stepping onto the competition arena and having exchanges with them. "
The International Army Games, initiated by the Russian Ministry of Defense, is co-organized by China, Russia, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Iran this year.
China has taken part in the games for five years, and started to host some of contests last year.

Chinese team leads in ‘Suvorov attack’ race at army games
By Yang Sheng in Korla Source:Global Times Published: 2018/7/30 21:48:40
A Chinese team leads the world in the "Suvorov attack" individual race after the first day of International Army Games 2018 competition in Korla, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
Monday's "Suvorov attack" individual race was a contest where each country fields three crews driving one infantry fighting vehicle each.
China, Kazakhstan, Iran and Belarus participated on the first day in the race.
China's second crew finished the race in 16 minutes, 54 seconds. The crew successfully destroyed all targets in the gun competition and passed all obstacles and anti-tank barriers without any fault or accident.
The first crew, due to a mechanical fault, took more than 35 minutes to finish the race, but the third Chinese crew finished the race in 17 minutes.
Competition was intense: The Iranian team crashed their vehicle in a field on Monday, injuring crew members. Other competing countries all took more than 20 minutes to finish the race.
Russia, Venezuela and Zimbabwe will compete in the second half of the draw on Wednesday.
The Russian team will drive a Russian-made BMP-2, while all the other teams use the Chinese-made 86A IFV.
"The games can help Chinese soldiers learn real combat experience from their Russian counterparts," said Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based military expert.
"China-made 86A and Russia-made BMP2 are very similar, and Russia has used BMP-2 in many regional wars in past decade."
