BEIJING - China's top political advisor on Friday urged media across the Taiwan Strait to hold more exchanges and boost cross-Straits ties.

Yu Zhengsheng, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks while meeting with media representatives who attended a media summit in Beijing.

The summit was hosted by Beijing Daily Press Group and Taiwan's Want Want China Times Group.

Yu said exchanges between the press on the two sides have played an important role in strengthening mutual understanding.

He said mainstream public opinion on both sides supports the political foundation of peaceful development, and the central authorities will continue to facilitate cross-Straits media exchanges.
Yu also expressed his hope that media on both sides will guide public opinion more positively and promote the bond between compatriots across the Strait.
