The festival was a chance for troops to exchange, learn from experience, show off art talent, and arouse enthusiasm and passion; and for agencies and units to boost their solidarity among them and relations with twinning units, contributing to tightening the close ties between military units and stationed localities, troops and people. It also helped promote the campaign of “Building rich and healthy cultural environment in units” coupled with the movement “All people are united to build the cultural life” in residential areas.
