BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- A spokesman of the Taiwan
Affairs Office of the State Council said here Friday that the summit between the
Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Kuomintang (KMT) was a significant step
in better relations between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.
Yang Yi said the summit between General Secretary of
the CPC Central Committee Hu Jintao and KMT Chairman Wu Poh-hsiung was an
important event for the two parties to achieve extensive consensus.
Yang said both the CPC and the KMT, or the
Nationalist Party of China, cherished the good momentum in the relationship
across the Taiwan Strait.
The two parties agreed to seize the opportunity to
build mutual trust, lay aside disputes, seek consensus and shelve differences,
and jointly create a win-win situation, Yang said.
The two parties also promised to push forward "the
common aspiration and prospects for cross-Strait peace and development," the
spokesman said.
Both agreed to resume exchanges and talks based on
the "1992 Consensus" as soon as possible, primarily focusing on cross-Strait
chartered flights at weekends and approval for mainland residents traveling to
Taiwan, Yang said.
The two parties said they wished to enhance exchanges
and dialogue, reach common ground on issues, increase mutual trust and promote
cooperation, and take more responsibility for peace and development across the
Strait, the spokesman said.
In addition, Yang said, the CPC and KMT encouraged
compatriots to strengthen economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation.

relations should be cherished
