BEIJING, June 24 -- The Chinese naval hospital ship Peace Ark held an oath-taking ceremony on the occasion of setting out to perform the Mission Harmony-2024 on June 23.
北京6月24日电 6月23日，执行“和谐使命-2024”任务的“和平方舟”号医院船，在驶离之际举行宣誓仪式。
On the deck of the hospital ship, the troops lined up neatly, sang the national anthem and took an oath facing the military flag. Relevant personnel of the political work group of the Mission Harmony-2024 said that the oath-taking ceremony was held to further unify thoughts, inspire fighting spirit, boost morale, and strengthen the determination and confidence of all troops to successfully complete the mission.
在医院船甲板上，任务官兵整齐列队，高唱国歌并面向军旗庄严宣誓。“和谐使命-2024”任务政工组有关人员表示，举行宣誓仪式，旨在进一步统一思想、激发斗志、鼓舞士气，坚定全体官兵圆满完成任务的决心和信心。
With the sound of the whistle, the hospital ship slowly set sail and the troops saluted the motherland solemnly. The ceremony marked that the troops would leave the country with the Peace Ark and serve as promoters of the Chinese spirit, messengers of benevolence and love, and practitioners of civilized behaviors on the broader world stage with sincere kindness, superb medical skills and positive actions.
随着汽笛声响起，医院船缓缓跨过祖国传统海疆线，官兵向祖国敬上庄严的军礼。从今天起，他们将随“和平方舟”驶出国门，在更加广阔的世界舞台上，以真诚的善意、精湛的医术和积极的作为，当好中国精神的宣传者、仁心大爱的播撒者、文明形象的践行者。
