SEVENTEEN proposals were adopted to boost ties between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan at the 8th Cross-Strait Economic, Trade and Culture Forum that ended yesterday in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province.
"The most prominent feature of wthis forum is that the two sides, for the first time, held comprehensive and inclusive discussions on the development of cross-Strait relations," Wang Yi, the Chinese mainland's Taiwan affairs chief, said at the closing ceremony.
Previous forums had focused on individual topics, said Wang, also director of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
Cross-Strait relations have realized a historic turn in the past four years, he said.
Authorities from both sides should seize opportunities to overcome the difficulties ahead as cross-Strait ties include "bright prospects and various challenges," he said.
The joint proposals acknowledged that "peaceful development" is the correct path for furthering cross-Strait relations, he said, adding that such development is also in line with the common interests of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Participants also called on the two sides to further push forward cooperation in various fields.
