Top adviser pledges to work with Taiwan
Print Edition
The Chinese mainland will work to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and contain “Taiwan independence,” said China’s top political adviser yesterday.
“We will unswervingly uphold the principles and policies decided by the central leadership on Taiwan affairs, adhere to the one-China principle, firmly oppose and contain ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities in any form, safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and push forward the peaceful development of cross-strait relations,” said Yu Zhengsheng, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference at an annual meeting of central and local officials in charge of Taiwan affairs.
In the past year, the central leadership has accurately assessed the cross-Strait situation, and actively boosted the development of relations between the two sides, he said.
The first meeting between cross-Strait leaders in 66 years, which took place in Singapore last year, was of great historical significance, Yu added.
The two sides have set up an institutional framework for communication and cooperation that will benefit people on both sides of the Strait, Yu said, adding: “The peaceful development of cross-Strait ties is a correct path, and no one can resist that trend.”
The mainland will increase exchanges with Taiwan parties and groups that uphold the one-China principle in an effort to safeguard the common political foundation shared by the two sides, said a statement issued after the meeting.
