Only by so doing can we ensure the attainment of a new order in the Pacific, that of lasting peace in this region,

Secondly I would like to make continuous efforts of stabilising cross Strait relations, eventually reaching peace across the Taiwan strait and stability and security in the Asia Pacific region.

Despite our repeated goodwill to seek reconciliation, cooperation and peace on both sides of the [Taiwan] Strait, the other side shows no respect for the feelings of the Taiwan people and rudely forces Taiwan to accept communist China's 'one China' and 'one country, two systems',

Through mutual understanding, sincerity and goodwill, and with great wisdom and broad views, the leaders on both sides should jointly initiate new opportunities for peace, stability, cooperation and mutual benefit.

A dark cloud now overshadows the atmosphere of reconciliation,

The Republic of China is a sovereign state, a constructive member of the international community and a lively democratic society, ... Taiwan's admission to the U.N. will be conducive to peace, prosperity and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
