The main conference of the 18th Straits Forum was held in Xiamen City of east China's Fujian Province on Saturday morning.

Representatives of relevant political parties, trade unions, youth and women organizations, fields of agriculture, fishery, water conservancy, culture and tourism from Taiwan participated in the conference.

Guests said at the meeting that maintaining peace and security across the Taiwan Strait and improving and developing cross-Strait relations are common expectations of Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and expanding cross-Strait exchange, interaction and integration and enhancing cross-Strait bond of kinship and well-being are where the public opinion trends and the arc of history bends.

Both sides of the Taiwan Strait can resolve all differences based on the fact that all Chinese across the Strait are members of one and the same family, said the guests.

This year's forum features 58 activities focusing on four aspects of cross-Strait grassroots exchanges, cultural connectivity, youth development, and economic cooperation.
