The Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) party has welcomed the mainland's package of policies and measures aimed at the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, stating that it reflects a high-level consensus to advance ties between the two sides.
The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee unveiled a package of 10 policies and measures on Sunday, aiming to advance the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and enhance kinship and well-being among compatriots across the Strait.
The announcement came as a delegation from the KMT party, led by its chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, is wrapping up a mainland visit from Tuesday to Sunday.
"The purpose of this visit is to promote peace across the Taiwan Strait and enhance the well-being of the people. On April 10th, when the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping, met with the Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun, he specifically mentioned four points, including improving the well-being of the people. This shows that they have reached a high level of consensus on this in cross-Strait relations. And this was implemented in the announcement made this morning by the Taiwan Work Office of the CPC Central Committee. The Chinese Kuomintang party welcomes this and hopes that all parties in Taiwan will jointly promote it, without being hindered by any obstacles, so as to benefit the people of Taiwan," said Chang Jung-kung, vice chairperson of the KMT party.
