(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-08-19 16:56 The Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China (CPC) on Friday sent a message to congratulate the
Central Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) in Taiwan on the opening of
the KMT's 17th Party Congress.
The message, addressed to the KMT Central Committee and KMT Chairman Ma
Ying-jeou, recalled that the two parties had jointly issued a document of
"common aspiration and prospects for cross-Straits peace and development" in
April this year, which "reflected the common aspirations of compatriots on both
sides of the Straits" and "opened a new chapter for party-to-party exchanges."
"We sincerely hope that our two parties, along with compatriots on both sides
of the Straits, would continue to make joint efforts to uphold the '1992
Consensus,' firmly oppose 'Taiwan independence,' maintain peace across the
Taiwan Straits, promote the benefits of people on both sides, create a
mutually-beneficial and win-win situation across the Straits, and bring
happiness and bliss to the entire Chinese nation," said the message.
CPC general secretary congratulates KMT honorary chairman
Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party
of China (CPC), on Friday congratulated Lien Chan, former chairman of the
Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) party in Taiwan, on his becoming KMT honorary chairman.
Lien has made great contribution to the improvement and development of
cross-Straits relations since he became the KMT leader, said Hu in his
congratulatory message.
Hu recalled the historic visit to the mainland by Lien and his KMT delegation
in April this year, during which the two parties discarded their decades-old
feud and had communications and talks.
"Your visit attracted much attention worldwide, and the document of 'common
aspiration and prospects for cross-Straits peace and development,' which we
jointly issued with a view to promoting the benefits of compatriots on both
sides of the Straits, is of great significance to pushing forward the
cross-Straits relations on a path of peace and stability," said Hu.
"The historic step jointly taken by our two parties has been written into the
history of the development of the cross-Straits relations. It is my sincere wish
to make joint efforts with you to promote the peaceful and steady development of
the cross-Straits relations and create a bright future for the Chinese nation,"
Hu added.
