BEIJING, Sept. 11  -- The Chinese mainland is willing to talk with all parties, organizations and personages in Taiwan, which adheres to the one-China principle and opposes "Taiwan independence," including the New Party, about the peaceful reunification, said a mainland spokesperson on Wednesday.

Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to a question about a proposal raised by the New Party for the peaceful reunification of the mainland and Taiwan under the "one country, two systems" principle.

"Since its founding, the New Party has been advocating the peaceful reunification of the two sides across the Taiwan Strait, firmly adhered to the one-China principle and opposed 'Taiwan independence,' which we highly appreciate," Ma said.

The proposal was announced at the celebration event of the New Party's 26th anniversary on Aug. 17.
