Consul General Fang Xinwen Attends a Seminar  Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Restoration of Taiwan hosted by the Local Chinese Community

　　On October 25, Consul General Fang Xinwen attended and addressed a seminar commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Restoration of Taiwan, hosted by the Federation of Chinese Association(VIC) INC. Over 50 people, Including President  Chen Yunguo, attended the seminar. Deputy Consul General Chen Xiaodong was also in attendance.

　　Consul General Fang stated that according to the decision adopted by Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), October 25 is designated as the Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration. The restoration of Taiwan is an important outcome of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and a compelling proof of the Chinese government's recovery of sovereignty over Taiwan. It is also an important part of the historical fact and legal chain that Taiwan is an integral part of China, and a national memory shared by all Chinese. We will unite with our  compatriots in Taiwan to jointly remember history, cherish the memory of the martyrs, and work together to advance the great cause of national reunification and jointly create a bright future for national rejuvenation. He expressed hope that local Chinese community in the consular district will continue to contribute to the complete reunification of the motherland.

　　President Chen Yunguo and other participating representatives shared their heartfelt feelings about cross-strait relations and expressed their eager anticipation for the great cause of reunification of the motherland.
