Taiwan delegation leader Lin Pin-kuan echoed the sentiment, stating: "Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China and are one family."
🌊 The talks focused on enhancing practical cooperation in fisheries and other industries, underscoring 2025's push for people-centered development across the strait.
