China's top leader, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Hu Jintao has met with Kuomintang Honorary Chairman Lien Chan. Both expressed willingness to jointly promote peaceful cross-strait development.
Lien Chan proposed several ways of pushing forward cross-strait relations, with communication and dialogue foremost.
"Communication is the basic principle and the major drive...Negotiations, but not confrontations, should be the bridge for cross-Straits ties. And the KMT will stick to its principle of promoting the development of the cross-straits ties to a new stage through dialogue,"says Lien Chan.
They will exchange views on issues including direct flights across the Taiwan Strait, cooperation in education and mainland citizens' travel to Taiwan.
