Cross-Straits symposium advocates peace, national rejuvenation
BEIJING - Chinese mainland and Taiwan participants at a symposium held here Friday proposed to work together for peaceful development across the Taiwan Straits and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The symposium was jointly held by the mainland-based Cross-Straits Relations Research Center and a Taiwan-based forum for cross-Straits peaceful development.
About 110 people from both sides of the Straits attended the meeting, including Liu Jieyi, director of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, and Kao Chin Su-mei, a politician from Taiwan and honorary advisor of the forum.
Participants at the symposium issued a joint proposal upholding the 1992 Consensus, denouncing "Taiwan independence" and pledging to work together for rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, deeper cross-Straits integration, the promotion of traditional Chinese culture, and extensive people-to-people exchanges.
