The mainland will assist Taiwan enterprises to be involved in the infrastructure and major projects construction in the mainland, encourage them to invest in the modern service industry and environmental-friendly industry, and provide financing to Taiwan enterprises, Wang promised.

Wang said at a conference on the economic and trade exchange and cooperation between Hunan and Taiwan that it is the right time to strengthen the cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation in various aspects.

The four agreements just signed by the two sides on direct shipping, air transport, postal services and food safety made the cross-Straits cooperation "stand at a new historic starting point", he said.
