BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson said Friday that the mainland welcomes Wang Jin-pyng, former vice chairperson of Kuomintang (KMT), leading a KMT delegation to attend the upcoming 12th Straits Forum.

The forum, to be held in Fujian Province from Sept. 19, will feature various activities to facilitate economic, cultural, youth, public health, and film exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait, said Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.

Noting that compatriots on both sides of the strait are of one family, Ma said efforts should be made to promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation, to facilitate the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

People from all walks of life on both sides should do more to strengthen mutual understanding and trust, he added. Enditem
