　　"The CPC and KMT should strengthen cooperation in working out a blueprint³ for the future development of relations between the two political parties. We should work together to build a community of shared destiny. I am willing to further exchange views with Chairman Chu on such joint⁴ endeavour."

　　Xi Jinping adds the mainland is willing to share the growing development opportunities with the business communities in Taiwan.

　　As for the lingering political differences and difficulties in relations between the two sides, Xi Jinping notes the CPC and KMT should continue to consult with each other on the basis of 1992 Consensus⁵ and reach agreement acceptable by both sides.

　　Eric Chu reaffirmed that the 1992 Consensus should remain the foundation for the exchanges between the CPC and KMT.

　　"We hope the 1992 Consensus will continue to be the basis for cooperation between the two sides in participating in Asia-Pacific regional affairs including peace, environment and economic cooperation."

　　The Kuomintang Chairman told Xi Jinping that the younger generation in Taiwan has great expectations on the development of cross-straits relations and the future of the island. They hope Taiwan would take an active part in regional affairs including joining the Asia Infrastructure⁶ Investment Bank, the "Belt and Road Initiatives", as well as any other regional economic organizations.

　　The meeting is part of Chu's first visit to the mainland since he took over as party leader of Kuomintang in January.

　　Chu has earlier met with Yu Zhengsheng, top political advisor⁷ and member of the Standing⁸ Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and attended the 10th Cross-Straits Economic, Trade and Culture Forum⁹ in Shanghai.
