Wang expected new promises on exchanges and cooperation between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and future development of cross-Straits relations would be made in the meeting between Hu and Wu. He also expected to see new measures to jointly cope with the global financial crisis.
Chang Wu-ueh, director of Tamkang University's Graduate Institute of China Studies, was also positive about this visit.
"After the Straits Forum, the mainland and Taiwan saw multi-level cross-Straits exchanges, and the two parties have made irreplaceable contributions," Chang told Xinhua Monday.
Chang said the KMT and CPC should continue to promote inter-party exchanges and "constantly" build up political trust, to make continuous contributions to the peaceful development of cross-Straits relationship.
The week-long Straits Forum was held in the southeastern coastal city of Xiamen on May 16. The forum, co-hosted by four cities in Fujian Province, which faces Taiwan across the sea, was the largest-yet unofficial cross-Straits forum.
