- Zhang Jiayuan, vice director of mainland China's 21st Century Agenda
- Management Center, said Taiwan and mainland China have both accumulated
- strong capabilities in certain areas in the fields of science and academia.
- Mainland China holds leading positions in the fields of oceanography,
- seismology and meteorology, while Taiwan has the competitive edge in
- application technologies and marketing strategies, he noted.
-
- Through effective interaction, the two sides can learn from each other,
- paving the way for a smooth process of sustained development, Zhang added.
- Chang Lung-sheng, a commissioner of the Council for Economic Planning and
- Development and chairman of the ROC Sustained Development Association, said
- at a keynote speech during the opening session of a cross-strait seminar,
- that sustained development is a mutual goal sought by both sides of the
- Taiwan Strait.
-
- He called for the two sides to pool their wisdom and energy for concerted
- efforts on environmental protection and natural resources and wildlife
- conservation, so that neither side will repeat the errors made by the
- industrially advanced countries during their marches to development.
-
- The Cross-Strait Sustained Development Seminar, sponsored by the Energy and
- Resources Laboratories under the Industrial Technology Research Institute
- and the first of its kind, kicked off Monday at Taipei's Howard Plaza Hotel
- with the participation of 18 specialists from the mainland and a larger
- number of experts from Taiwan. It will run until Tuesday.
-
