The historic meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou, of Taiwan on 7 November 2015 marks a very significant milestone in the forging of peace across the Straits, since the split in 1949, and the Government and people of the Commonwealth of Dominica welcome this landmark gesture and stand in solidarity with the positive efforts embarked on to date.
The Government of Dominica noted that in their public statements President Xi acknowledged that “the separation of families on both sides of the Taiwan strait has caused deep pain and regrets to countless families.”
For his part, Mr. Ma called for a hotline to deal with urgent matters, and for a “reduction of hostility, and for the resolution of disputes with peaceful measures,” as well as for “enhancement of cross-strait exchange, and reinforcement of win-win.”
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in March 2004, the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica has adhered to the One-China Policy.
The Government of Dominica stands in solidarity with the People’s Republic of China and hopes that the encounter of President Xi and Mr. Ma is a step towards the peaceful reunification of the whole of China.
Selling your soul to the “CHINESE DEVIL”. When will it stop?
President Xi but Mr. Ma even though Mr.Ma is President of the Republic of China on Taiwan. Skerrit is really subservient to the Government of China for a few piece of crumb that is dished out to his government now and then. Bot Presidents had agreed to refer to each other as ”Mr.” rather than as President at the meeting but Skerrit has to refer to Mr, Xi as President and President Ma as Mr Ma.
Great ,progressive move!
No direct quote from de PM means he just doing this for protocol sake because some one advised that he should.
The Government of Dominica stands in solidarity with the people’s republic of china and hope that the encounter of President Xi and Mr. Ma is a step towards peaceful reunification of the whole o the China.
2 sentences. President Xi and Mr Ma.
Basically that’s like standing in de UN and recording your vote in favor of China.
your voice really means nothing. Just your vote.
I am aware that both leaders held separate press conferences. Go figure eh.
The gentlemen shaking hands with their going in different directions. They smiling for their own crown not at each other.
