SINGAPORE-- Xi Jinping said Saturday the two sides across the Taiwan Straits should prove with concrete moves to the world that the Chinese from both sides have the capabilities and wisdom to solve their own problems.

Addressing a historic meeting between leaders of the two sides in Singapore, Xi called on the two sides to jointly make greater contribution to world and regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.

Xi expressed his hope that the two sides could adhere to the 1992 Consensus, consolidate common political foundations, stick to the path of peaceful development, and maintain the right direction for development of cross-Straits ties.

Both sides should also deepen cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation, boost well-being of people on the two sides, make joint efforts for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and enable people on both sides to share the glory of national rejuvenation.
