Chairman James CY Soong of the People First Party in Taiwan Wednesday pledged to promote education exchange across the Taiwan Straits for the benefit of Taiwan students studying on the mainland.

To facilitate these Taiwan students, educational institutions across the Straits should acknowledge each other's educational records, Soong said when answering a question after his speech to students and teachers of the prestigious Qinghua University.

He also hoped that Taiwan students could obtain fair job opportunities after finishing education on the mainland and receive scholarship from the mainland universities.

Soong promised to take these issues for talks with related mainland authorities.
