Conference pushes reunification
( 2003-09-12 09:34) (China Daily)
The overseas Chinese world conference for promoting the peaceful
reunification of China opened in the capital city of Russia on Wednesday.
During the two-day event, over 600 Chinese delegates from some 60 countries
and regions around the world will discuss the obstacles in the path of China's
peaceful reunification and possible options for the historic cause pursued by
all Chinese people.
Luo Haocai, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference, reiterated at the opening ceremony the
Chinese Government's basic principles on peaceful reunification and especially
the "one country, two systems" principle for settling the Taiwan question.
Luo, who is also president of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful
Reunification, emphasized that it is the Chinese Government's persistent stand
to resume dialogue between the two sides across the Taiwan Straits on the basis
of the principle of "one China."
The Chinese Government opposes activities of the Taiwan authorities aimed at
splitting China, and firmly objects to any cabal of forces working for the
"independence of Taiwan," Luo noted.
