Print Edition
Wang Yu-chi, Taiwan’s mainland affairs chief, will lead a team to the Chinese mainland next month, a mainland spokesman said yesterday.
The delegation is scheduled to visit Nanjing, capital of east China’s Jiangsu Province, and Shanghai between February 11 and 14, according to Ma Xiaoguang with the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.
Zhang Zhijun, head of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, will meet Wang during the trip, and the two will exchange views on issues concerning relations across the Taiwan Strait, Ma said.
The spokesman hailed Wang’s visit as “an important move” to promote development of cross-Strait relations on the basis of adhering to the “1992 consensus” and deepening mutual political trust.
“We hope and believe this important step by both sides will be conducive to enhancing communication and understanding as well as to the joint promotion of future development of cross-Strait ties,” he said.
As Taiwan’s first sitting mainland affairs chief to visit the mainland, Wang said he shoulders a heavy responsibility.
Speaking in Taipei, he added that the visit signifies further institutionalization of cross-Strait relations.
