The two sides should stick to the spirit of "building mutual trust, laying aside dispute, seeking consensus and shelving difference, and creating a win-win situation" to maintain sound exchanges, expand consensus and remove obstacles, he said.

The two sides should push forward development of cross-Strait relations and the process of cross-Strait consultations by continuing the progressive method of tackling easy things first, difficult things later; and economic affairs first, political affairs later, he said.

He said the mainland would do more good things for Taiwan compatriots so that more of them could enjoy the benefits of peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.

Jia said relevant parties should encourage more compatriots to take part in the cause of promoting peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and work for the well-being of people on both sides.
