The Kuomintang delegation led by KMT Chairperson Cheng Li-wen arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport at noon on the 7th, kicking off their visit to the mainland.
Cheng Li-wen’s visit to the mainland carries extremely important significance, as this is the first official mainland visit by a Kuomintang chairperson in ten years, and it is seen by outside observers as an ice-breaking trip that could promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
On site, it could be seen that Song Tao, director of the Taiwan Work Office of the CPC Central Committee, also came to the airport to personally welcome Cheng Li-wen.
Before departure, when speaking about her original intention for this visit to the mainland, Cheng Li-wen stated that she would uphold the 1992 Consensus and oppose Taiwan independence.
After shaking hands with Song Tao, Cheng Li-wen also shook hands one by one with those present from the State Council Information Office and spokespersons of the Taiwan Work Office of the CPC Central Committee.
