As the head of Taiwan Affairs Office, this (first visit of him to Taiwan) is very important to me, especially when most of my colleagues have visited… - Zhang Zhijun

If Taiwan wants to join international organizations, it must return to the fundamental condition, which is recognition of the 'One China Principle' and the '1992 consensus'.

In the years to come, I also hope that both sides (Taiwan and Mainland China) can work to facilitate policy communications, reinforce their economic cooperation, push ahead with cross-strait negotiations, accomplish more achievements beneficial to the public, expand their scope of amicable interactions, cement the ‘family bond’ between the people on both sides and jointly build a better home for Chinese.

Precedent has shown that sticking to such a political foundation (1992 Consensus) will allow continued healthy development of cross-strait ties. Damaging the foundation will damage the fruit of peaceful development in cross-strait ties, leading to endless problems across the strait.
