Lee Yuan-tseh will deliver goodwill message to China

The recent string of goodwill gestures extended by President Chen Shui-bian (³¯¤ô«ó) will be the main message his special envoy to APEC conveys to Chen's Chinese counterpart in the upcoming APEC leaders' summit.

"When I see Chinese President Hu Jintao (­JÀAÀÜ), I'll tell him that President Chen has expressed goodwill gestures in various occasions and that his resolve to pursue peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is strong," Lee Yuan-tseh (§õ»·­õ), the president of Academia Sinica, told a press conference held upon his arrival. "I don't have any new messages for President Hu, except for those mentioned in President Chen's inauguration speech, the National Day address and the Nov. 11 speech."

During Chen's inauguration speech, he pledged to honor the "five noes" promised in his 2000 inauguration speech. He also urged both sides to establish a dynamic "peace and stability framework" for interactions.
