XIAMEN, June 15 (Xinhua) — Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), on Sunday stressed the importance of resolutely safeguarding peace across the Taiwan Strait and jointly promoting the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Wang Huning made the statement at the 17th Taiwan Strait Forum in Fujian Province, east China.
He recalled that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s liberation from Japanese occupation. According to Wang Huning, the liberation of the island is imprinted in the common national memory of people on both sides of the strait, and the fruits of that victory must be preserved.
Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China, the CPPCC National Committee chairman stressed, calling for firmly adhering to the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus. He also called for resolutely opposing separatist activities aimed at gaining “Taiwan independence” and external interference, and jointly safeguarding peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
Wang Huning assured that the Chinese mainland will always provide firm support to Taiwan compatriots and is committed to deepening the integrated development of the two shores so that Taiwan compatriots can experience greater satisfaction, happiness and belonging.
Former Kuomintang Party Chairman Ma Ying-jeou, in turn, said that the peaceful development of cross-strait relations is the common aspiration of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
He expressed the hope that on the common political basis of adhering to the 1992 consensus and opposing “Taiwan independence,” exchanges and cooperation between the two sides will deepen.
Before the forum, Wang Huning held a meeting with participating Taiwanese guests.
On Saturday, the CPPCC National Committee chairman visited an agricultural park in Xiamen that serves as a hub for Taiwanese farmers to develop their businesses. –0–
