The five aspects of work, outlined in a press communique issued after the
Hu-Lien meeting, include promoting the earlier restoration of cross-Straits
talks, the formal end of the state of hostility across the Straits, all-round
economic cooperation and trade across the Straits, the discussions about
Taiwan's participation in international activities, and the establishment of a
platform for regular exchanges between the two parties.
"The two sides across the Straits should step into a virtuous cycle of
cooperation, rather than slump into a vicious cycle of confrontation," says the
press communique.

Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification, said the Friday meeting opened "a
gate of hope" to the Taiwan business community. If the consensus reached during
the meeting can be put into practice, it will be a stimulus for Taiwan
enterprises and help push the Taiwan economy on a sound development track.

Association of Huang Pu Military Academy of Hong Kong, said he felt "the warm
air of spring" from the meeting.
