胡锦涛总书记2009年8月在新疆考察工作时指出,兵团既是生产队、战斗队,又是工作队、宣传队。新中国屯垦戍边60年来,兵团不仅注重推动经济社会发展,维护社会稳定,而且注重加强民族团结,大力发展宣传文化教育事业,在屯垦戍边事业中较好地发挥了“宣传队”作用。 During his inspection tour in Xinjiang in August 2009, General Secretary Hu Jintao pointed out: Corps is both a production team, a combat team, a work team, and a propaganda team. For more than 60 years since its establishment, the Corps has not only focused on promoting economic and social development and maintaining social stability, but also focused on strengthening national unity and vigorously developing the propaganda and cultural and educational undertakings. It has played a “propaganda team” role in the field of garrison and desertification.
