Cross-Straits talks continue progress
By Xie Yu and Wu Jiao (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-05-26 07:47 Taiwan's ruling Kuomintang Chairman (KMT) Wu Poh-hsiung arrived in Beijing Monday seeking closer cross-Straits ties. Wu's eight-day visit was to include a meeting today with Hu Jintao, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
Wu said leaders of the KMT and CPC would review exchanges and interactions during the past year and said he hoped to reach an understanding on promoting cross-Straits relations. Wu told reporters in Taipei he would focus on building economic and commercial ties with the mainland, said US based Associated Press. Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) met Wu yesterday afternoon. Jia said Wu's visit was "a significant event" in inter-party communications and in the cross-Straits relationship. He said the meeting between Hu and Wu today was likely to achieve significant results, promote political trust between the two parties and boost positive interaction across the Straits. Wang Yi, director of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office said Wu's visit "will be the most important event in this year's cross-Straits relations" coming on the first anniversary of the "historical turn of the cross-Straits relationship". Wang said it comes at a time when people across the straits are working together to combat the financial crisis. "Leaders will talk about this issue at the coming meeting." |
