今年四五月间,中共中央和胡锦涛总书记相继邀请中国国民党主席连战、亲民党主席宋楚瑜率团来访,开展两岸政党交流与对话。这是我们党和中国国民党、亲民党关系史上的大事,也是当前两岸关系中的大事,对反对和遏制“台独”分裂势力及其活动,引导两岸关系朝着和平稳定方向发展产生了重大的积极作用,具有重要的现实意义和深远的历史意义。 In April and May this year, the CPC Central Committee and General Secretary Hu Jintao successively invited Chairman Lien Chan of the Chinese Nationalist Party and People First Party Chairman James Soong to lead a delegation to conduct cross-strait party exchanges and dialogues. This is a major event in the history of the relationship between our Party and the KMT and the People First Party. It is also a major event in the current cross-strait relations. It has produced significant positives in opposing and containing the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and their activities and in guiding the development of cross-strait relations toward peace and stability. The role has important practical significance and far-reaching historical significance.
