Taiwan Nationalist to Meet Chinese Leader

By STEPHAN GRAUWELS

Opposition Nationalist party Chairman Lien Chan, right, listens to the party's Secretary General Lin Feng-cheng during the party's Central Standing Committe, Wednesday, April 20, 2005, in Taipei, Taiwan. Lien will hold talks with China's top leader in Beijing, the first such meeting since China was split by civil war a half century ago, party officials said Wednesday. Lien's trip has drawn protest from Taiwan's ruling party, which has charged the Nationalists are playing into the hands of the communist mainland in its efforts to divide the Taiwanese people. The party announced Lien's schedule for the trip but didn't disclose topics for his April 29 session with Chinese President Hu Jintao. (AP Photo/Su Chen-ping)TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - The leader of Taiwan's opposition Nationalists will travel to China later this month for the first encounter with a leader of China's Communists in more than five decades, party officials said Wednesday.

Party leader Lien Chan declined to give details of what he would discuss with China's President Hu Jintao when they meet in Beijing on April 29, but he characterized his trip as a "voyage of peace."

"Our aim at this time is to bring peace for both sides of the Taiwan Strait, stability for both sides, and to lay some positive groundwork for the whole future," Lien said.
