Taiwan's Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Wu Poh-hsiung(3rd right, front) arrives at the Hong Kong Airport in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), south China, May 26, 2008. Wu transited at Hong Kong to fly to Nanjing, the first stop of his week-long visit to the mainland from Monday. He was received by Chen Yunlin, director of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, with a hug at the airport, while many businessmen from Taiwan waited with a slogan to welcome the visiting team.
At Wu's suggestion, people spent one minute lowering their heads to mourn for the deceased in the May 12 Wenchuan earthquake.
Invited by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and General Secretary Hu Jintao, Wu will visit the three mainland cities of Nanjing, Beijing and Shanghai.
The KMT chairman would express condolences to victims of the devastating earthquake in Sichuan Province on behalf of his party and the people of Taiwan, and put forward opinions on promoting mutually beneficial cooperation across the Taiwan Straits.
