Visiting Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) Party Chairman Lien Chan reiterated his unwillingness to see a prolonged stalemate in the cross-Straits relations after arriving at Xi’an, capital of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, the third leg on his eight-day mainland tour, at around 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
Lien said he hoped to learn more about the development of his birthplace, exchange views with local people and do his best to create a better future for both sides across the Straits. Compared with his speeches delivered immediately after the charter flight with the 60-member KMT delegation aboard hit the ground in east China’s Nanjing and Beijing, remarks made by the KMT leader at the aprons of the Xi’an’s Xianyang Airport Saturday morning were more personal and nostalgic. The 69-year old Lien was born in Xi’an in 1936 and left the northwestern city eight years later.
