(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-16 15:36 XIAMEN -- The Chinese mainland and Taiwan are to open the largest-ever non-official cross-Straits forum Saturday evening in the coastal mainland city Xiamen, which faces Taiwan across the sea. The opening ceremony for the Straits Forum is scheduled to be held at 7:40 p.m., which will last 20 minutes and will be followed by a gala show, the organizers said.
The week-long Straits Forum expects more than 8,000 Taiwan guests, including Chu Li-lun, vice chairman of the Kuomintang Party, mayors and magistrates from 25 Taiwan cities and counties as well as heads of key trade organizations on the island. Shi Zhenfei, a 60-year-old peddler in Xiamen, said he was very much interested in the event and looked forward to its opening. "As a Xiamen native, I've heard much about the mainland-Taiwan fighting since I was young," he said. "But no one likes war. Through such kind of activities we the two sides can better understand each other." |
