Taipei, Feb. 21 (CNA) Goodwill and constructive interaction between the two sides across the Taiwan Strait will be the key factors that determine where cross-strait ties are headed in the future, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said Wednesday.

That is why she has pursued regional peace, stability and prosperity, in which “cross-strait relations play the most crucial role,” she said.
