Hu-Lien meeting raises hope for cross-Straits relations (Xinhua) Updated: 2005-04-30 22:35
"The meeting is successful to both sides. It is a
win-win communication, which reflects a breakthrough in the mainland policy
towards Taiwan," said Suen, who has been a member of the KMT for about 62 years.
The Taiwan-based "Central Daily News" said in its editorial that it was
obvious both parties were pursuing a peaceful development of cross-Straits
relations. Based on the principles set forth in the meeting, the end of
cross-Straits hostility, establishment of a mechanism of military mutual trust
and a peace accord between the two sides across the Taiwan Straits could be
realized smoothly.

sides of the Straits," said Hu.
