Taipei, Sept. 7 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) pledged on Wednesday to strive for cooperation among different political parties in dealing with national affairs.

Speaking at a meeting of the Central Standing Committee of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in her capacity as party chairperson, Tsai said that she believed there must be something in the country that could overcome the rivalry among the parties, according to DPP spokesman Wang Min-sheng (王閔生).

Tsai cited the presence of Kuomintang (KMT) Chairperson Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱) at the funeral service of late DPP Secretary General Wang Tuoh (王拓) on Tuesday as an example, pointing out that Hung was a long-term legislator and had worked together with Wang in the Culture and Education Committee of the Legislative Yuan.     [FULL  STORY]
