The 30-member New Party delegation started its eight-day "journey of the Chinese nation" last Wednesday to commemorate the 60th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-1945).

The group visited Guangzhou, Nanjing and Dalian before arriving in Beijing on Saturday to "make the finishing touch" of the trip.

At a press conference, Yok said his mainland visit concentrated on promoting spiritual consensus across the Taiwan Straits.

"We hope our trip will have some impact on the development of cross-Straits relations in the future," he told reporters.

The 65-year-old leader described his party as like the pole star, Polaris, which looks lonely but is valuable in directing people in the right direction.

He stressed that the New Party would make further efforts to promote a win-win and co-operative solution for both sides of the Straits.

At the news conference, New Party Secretary-General Lee Sheng-feng said his party will push for adherance to National Unification Guidelines to show the island's determination not to pursue formal "independence."
