New prospects for cross-Straits links

The mainland and Taiwan should elevate cross-Straits communication and create new prospects for cross-Straits mutual understanding and economic cooperation, Yu Zhengsheng, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, said on Monday.

Addressing the opening ceremony of the 2017 Cross-Straits Entrepreneurs Zijin Mountain Summit, Yu said the two sides should make joint efforts to face challenges that cannot be ignored and boost the peaceful development of cross-Straits ties.

"Cross-Straits relations in the new era face new opportunities and space for development," said Yu. "We will fully implement the policies adopted by the 19th CPC National Congress and help promote the continuous development of cross-Straits relations."
