China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin on Monday urged a visiting Hong Kong delegation to make more contribution to the reunification of China.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks when meeting a delegation of the Hong Kong Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China.
Jia, also chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (CCPPNR), urged the association to "hold high the banner of patriotism, unite as many Hong Kong compatriots as possible, and resolutely oppose any form of separatist activities for 'Taiwan independence'."
It is a common will of the whole Chinese people to promote the peaceful development of the cross-Strait relations and finally achieve a complete unification of the nation, he said.
He also expressed his hope that the association could tap its broad social influence in Hong Kong and close connections with all social sectors of Taiwan to promote the peaceful development of the cross-Strait relations and the reunification of China.
In the meeting, Jia also praised the association for providing an important platform for Chinese compatriots in Hong Kong to contribute to the peaceful reunification of China.
The Hong Kong association was established on July 30 this year.
