The visit was made in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the official burial of Dr. Sun in Nanjing, capital city of eastern Jiangsu Province.

Wu said the KMT delegation meant to pay "eternal respect" to Sun with the visit.

"Dr. Sun has left the Chinese nation a spiritual legacy," he said, "His call to rejuvenate the Chinese nation is the common goal for us (people from both sides of the Taiwan Straits) to strive for."

Nanjing was the last leg of Wu's eight-day mainland visit, which had taken him to Beijing, Chongqing and Hangzhou cities previously. He will leave for Taiwan on Monday.
