Visiting People First Party (PFP) Chairman James CY Soong said here Wednesday his party is steadfast in opposing "Taiwan independence" during his meeting with a senior leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

"The PFP has three basic positions. The first stance is its opposition to 'Taiwan independence'," Soong told Zeng Qinghong, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

"We oppose 'Taiwan independence' and never regard it as an option for Taiwan, and we are steadfast on this stance," Soong said in the meeting, which began at around 5"He said the second basic stance of the PFP is its adherence to the "1992 Consensus," which "we have never swayed on." In addition, he added, it is striving to make this stance as a basis for reconciliation across the Taiwan Straits.

The third stance, noted Soong, is the necessity of both sides of the Taiwan Straits for peace. "What the people of both sides aspire is to create a foundation for civilization of the Chinese nation and peace across the Taiwan Straits."

"Let's put up a bridge for mutual trust," said Soong.
