[Xinhua] | Following the footsteps of Chinese Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan and People
First Party leader James Soong, the New Party is making the mainland trip to
play its role in Taiwan's Pan-Blue Alliance to improve relations across the
Taiwan Straits, Yok said in a telephone interview with Xinhua before boarding
the plane atTaipei airport.
He said the airport was quiet and in good order, a sign that exchanges across
the Taiwan Straits are "normal".
Yok said it is the opportune time for the New Party delegation to tour the
mainland to commemorate the Lugou Bridge (also known as the Macro Polo Bridge)
Incident in north China on July 7, 1937,which marked the launching of China's
war of resistence against the Japanese aggressors.
"It's also a historic moment to remind Chinese descendents bothat home and
overseas to draw a lesson from history and shoulder the historic mission of
maintaining national unity and seeking peaceful reunification of the
motherland," he told Xinhua.
The mainland tour, from July 6 to 13, will also take Yok and his delegation
to Nanjing, Dalian and Beijing.
