Taipei, Sept. 14 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Wednesday reaffirmed her commitment to improve Taiwan’s relations with China and pledged to help Taiwanese businessmen solve problems they face on the mainland.

The government has never wavered in its determination to maintain cross-Taiwan Strait peace and stability and will do its utmost to promote amiable interactions between the two sides in the hope of building a pragmatic, stable and long-lasting relationship, Tsai said at a forum held in Taichung by the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) for China-based Taiwanese businessmen.

She said the development of cross-strait relations is the shared responsibility of both sides and expressed hope that new SEF Chairman Tien Hung-mao (田弘茂) will inject new elements and opportunities into relations and create new milestones in cross-strait ties.

With his experience and professional background and support from the Mainland Affairs Council, Tien can definitely provide the best service for Taiwanese businessmen operating in China, she said.      [FULL  STORY]
