Top political advisor Jia Qinglin met in Nanchang on Friday with
Chiang Pin-kung, vice chairman of the Kuomintang Party (KMT), and
Yok Mu-ming, chairman of the New Party, from Taiwan.
Chiang and Yok were in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi
Province to attend the Jiangxi-Taiwan Economic and Trade
Cooperation Forum.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said he hopes that
business and industrial circles from Taiwan continue to make
efforts to promote economic exchanges between Taiwan and the
mainland and make greater contributions to strengthen cross-Strait
relations.
Jia noted that the development of cross-Strait economic and
trade cooperation, which is beneficial to both sides, has become an
important factor that drives Taiwan's economic growth.
The economic and trade exchanges with Taiwan also inject impetus
to the mainland's economy, Jia said.?
