Gong Zheng said that the "Twin Cities Forum" is a resounding brand for cross-strait city exchanges. The theme of this forum is "New Economy and New Development", which entrusts the people of the two cities with a beautiful vision for future life.
Taipei has many advanced concepts that Shanghai can learn from. We look forward to sharing experience and strengthening cooperation with Taipei.
"The compatriots on both sides of the strait are all Chinese, with the same roots, the same language and the same species; the compatriots on both sides of the strait are family members, connected by blood and close to each other." The development in Shanghai will provide more convenience for Taiwan compatriots to study, start a business, find employment and live in Shanghai, and create a good environment for Taiwan enterprises to invest and start businesses in Shanghai.
I look forward to working together between the two places to write a new chapter in the cooperation between the two cities and create a new future for a better life.
Ke Wenzhe said that the "Two Cities Forum" is an exchange platform between the largest cities on both sides of the strait and an important channel for maintaining cross-strait relations.
Through the "Two Cities Forum", the two cities learn from each other and learn from each other, continue to communicate across the strait, accumulate goodwill, and promote mutual trust.
Cross-strait economic exchanges are close, and cross-strait relations "exchange is better than stagnation, dialogue is better than confrontation, and friendliness is better than hatred."
It is hoped that cross-strait exchanges can be promoted based on mutual understanding, mutual understanding, mutual respect, mutual cooperation, and mutual understanding.
Looking forward to the future, I hope to continue to work hard for the peaceful coexistence of people on both sides of the strait and the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, jointly promote meaningful cross-strait dialogue, and jointly stabilize the long-term development of cross-strait relations.
