Conference Highlights China's Reunification
The delegation of the European China Peaceful Reunion Promotion Conference held a meeting Tuesday with members of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification (CCPPR) and some government officials to discuss matters of China's reunification.
The members of the delegation are overseas Chinese who came from over 20 European countries to attend the National Day celebrations at the invitation of the CCPPR.
Tomas E. Tiu, chairman of the conference, said that the members, after a week-long visit in Beijing, share the opinion that China is becoming stronger and is enjoying a higher international status.
According to the members, separatists who intend to split Taiwan from the motherland will never have their intrigue fulfilled, because it is a common wish of all overseas Chinese that the country is reunified.
They said they will not cease their endeavor for the promotion of China's reunification around the world until the cause is consummated.
At the meeting, principals of the conference's branches in more than 20 European countries expressed their confidence in China's future, saying that overseas Chinese will work incessantly to call for China's reunification until the Taiwan issue is finally settled.
Wan Guoquan and Zhang Kehui, both vice-chairmen of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and CCPPR chairmen, and officials from the Taiwan Affairs Office and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League and the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits listened to the members' opinions and suggestions at the meeting.
Heads of overseas Chinese societies from 35 countries convened today in another meeting sponsored by the China Zhi Gong Party to exchange their ideas on the promotion of China's reunification.
Yu Yunpo, vice-chairman of the Zhi Gong Party, said that overseas Chinese have been a powerful force in promoting China's reunification. Many overseas Chinese also have close ties with Taiwan and are able to play a big role in opening more channels for exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits.
He also extended his wish that more overseas Chinese will help the economic development in the motherland.
