Forum on Cross-Straits Ties Closes in Zhuhai
A two-day forum on relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits closed Wednesday, with the theme of "promoting cross-Straits dialogue and negotiations based on the one-China principle."
Wang Zaixi, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said Wednesday in Zhuhai that in the new century, the reunification of the motherland is one of the three major tasks for all the Chinese people.
"We are most sincere in trying to realize reunification through peaceful means, but are firmly determined and prepared to stop Taiwan independence and other separatist activities," he said.
Tang Shubei, director of the Research Center for Cross-Straits Relations, said here today that any act of distorting or denying the one-China principle, a consensus reached by the two sides in 1992, is not conducive to the stable development of cross-strait ties.
Altogether 54 scholars from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and overseas are present at the forum in Zhuhai, a coastal city in Guangdong Province, south China.
