Kuomintang (KMT) spokesman Chang Jung-kung said in Beijing Thursday that he hopes an institutionalized mechanism will be established to facilitate the exchanges between KMT and the Communist Party of China (CPC).

According to Chang, the KMT-CPC exchanges should be continued and enhanced after the mainland visit of KMT chairman Lien Chan.

At a press conference, Chang briefed the key points of Lien's talk with Jia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, in the evening of April 28.

Lien said, according to Chang, that his visit to the Chinese mainland is of historical significance to the peace and development across the Taiwan Straits and will serve to improve the exchange situation between the parties.

Lien said he had brought about the mainstream opinions of the Taiwan public and KMT hopes to play a pusher's role in ushering in a new era for cross-Strait relations.

After the adoption of the Anti-Secession Law by the National People's Congress, Lien had said that the nativism view doesn't equal the Taiwan independence one, and the independence forces can not represent the general public of Taiwan.

KMT hopes cross-Strait relations should never be worsened simply because of some words by the minority independence forces, he said.
