Both sides of Taiwan Straits will be reunified: Liu Jieyi
The two sides of the Taiwan Straits must and will be reunified, Liu Jieyi, head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said on the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions.
Over the years, exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Straits have become more extensive and the bonds of affection between the two sides have deepened, he said.
"Our compatriots in Taiwan now better understand that only when the cross-Straits relations become better, will they have a better future," he said, adding that "We are increasingly capable of promoting the peaceful reunification of the country and bringing benefits to compatriots on both sides."
