We sincerely hope that compatriots on both sides of the Straits will move forward together and work hand in hand to create the lasting well-being of the Chinese nation. We should fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Party's overall strategy for solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, and adhere to The policy of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems", adhering to the concept of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Straits", always respect, care for and benefit Taiwan compatriots, and help Taiwanese businesses and enterprises integrate into the new development pattern and participate in high-quality development. We will work to promote cross Straits exchanges and cooperation in various fields, facilitate personnel exchanges across the Straits, promote the normalization of cross Straits exchanges and exchanges at an early date, and constantly improve the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Straits. On the basis of the one China principle and the 1992 Consensus, we are ready to conduct extensive and in-depth consultations with people of insight from all walks of life in Taiwan on cross Straits relations and national reunification. As long as the Taiwan authorities agree with the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the one China principle, cross-strait negotiations can resume. It is hoped that Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese businessmen will firmly establish their confidence in development, actively promote cross Straits exchanges and cooperation, resolutely oppose the "Taiwan independence" secessionist acts and interference from external forces, jointly promote the peaceful development of cross Straits relations, promote the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland, and make new contributions to the new journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
