Top political adviser calls for peaceful national reunification

Top political adviser Wang Yang met on Monday with Hung Hsiuchu, former chairwoman of the Kuomintang party, and called for joint efforts to achieve peaceful reunification of the country and national rejuvenation.

Wang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, met with Hung, who is leading a delegation from various circles in Taiwan on a visit to Beijing from Sunday to Wednesday.

Wang said he appreciated Hung's adherence to the 1992 Consensus, the one-China principle and her opposing "Taiwan independence", as well as her contribution to the development of cross-Straits relations and the well-being of compatriots on both sides.
