Hu calls for trust to continue across the Straits

The top Party official on the mainland urged the mainland and Taiwan on Friday to continue the current cross-Straits policy to strengthen their two-way relationship and promote cooperation.

The pledge was made before the mainland's expected new leadership lineup of the Communist Party of China later this year.

Hu Jintao, general secretary of the CPC's Central Committee, met with Lien Chan, honorary chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, in Vladivostok, east Russia, on Friday.
