The Straits Forum opened in Xiamen today. Vice Chairman of the Kuomintang Lien Chan stated in his speech that 'as a genuine Taiwanese, one can also be a proud Chinese.' Lien Chan, whose ancestors originated from Fujian and migrated to Taiwan 300 years ago, emphasized the importance of peaceful cross-strait relations and mutual friendship, highlighting the Kuomintang's historical stance on the '1992 Consensus' and opposition to Taiwan independence as the basis for equal exchanges with the mainland to promote a win-win peace. He also called for cherishing the hard-won peace opportunities and jointly facing various challenges on the path towards peace and mutual benefits for both sides.
