Forum on cross-Straits relations held in Costa Rica
SAN JOSE, July 16 (Xinhua) -- A forum on the peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Straits was held in Costa Rica on Wednesday.
The forum was co-sponsored by a delegation of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (CCPPR) and the Costa Rican Council for the Promotion of China's Peaceful Reunification.
The forum would promote exchanges on the Taiwan issue, said Zhu Jingguang, deputy secretary-general of the CCPPR.
It would also serve as an opportunity to raise the awareness of the overseas Chinese in Costa Rica about opposing "Taiwan independence" and promoting peaceful reunification of the motherland, said Zhu, who was also head of the delegation.
Currently, the Chinese mainland and Taiwan enjoyed a relatively relaxed relationship, said Yu Bo, an official with the Chinese Embassy in Costa Rica.
It was of "special significance" to hold such discussions now on the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, he said.
