A Taiwan delegation comprising nearly 200 political party members,
industrial and commercial leaders, experts and scholars arrived in
Wuhan,
Hubei Province, on Saturday to attend
commemorative activities of the 1911 Anti-feudalism Revolution.
This year marks the 95th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution,
which was led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen and which overthrew the Qing
rulers, ending thousands of years of feudalistic governance in
China.
Vice Director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of State Council Sun
Yafu and Vice Secretary of CPC Hubei Committee Yang Song hosted a
welcome banquet for the delegation.
Delivering a speech at the banquet, Yang said that he hoped the
economic and cultural cooperation between Hubei and Taiwan would be
further developed in the future.
The delegation will also attend a "Wuhan-Taiwan Week" aimed at
promoting economic and cultural exchange.
