BOAO, Hainan, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Vincent Siew, honorary chairman of the Taiwan-based Cross-Straits Common Market Foundation, at the ongoing Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2013 on Monday.

Xi said he hopes that cross-Strait economic cooperation could be boosted by compatriots across the Strait through the concept of "one family."

The Chinese mainland and Taiwan should jointly push cross-Strait economic cooperation to a new level by strengthening cross-Strait high-level dialogues and coordination, Xi noted.

During the meeting, the president also voiced his hope of improving institutional levels of economic cooperation by accelerating negotiations on follow-up issues regarding the 2010 Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA).

Xi also called on compatriots across the Taiwan Strait to jointly work for achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
