Liu Gangqi, deputy secretary-general of the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits, and Wang Zhelin, secretary of the Secretariat of the All-China Journalists Association, who came to see them off at the airport, said in an interview with reporters that after some twists and turns, the visit of mainland reporters to Taiwan has taken a big step for two-way exchanges between the press on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. It is also the first time that mainland reporters have organized a delegation to interview in Taiwan since the establishment of the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits nine months ago. They expressed their gratitude to the relevant parties in Taiwan for their efforts in this regard, and hoped that this would be the beginning of two-way exchanges between the press on both sides of the Taiwan Straits in the future. The delegation of mainland journalists to Taiwan was composed of 18 reporters from 17 news organizations including People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, National Journalists Association, Central People's Broadcasting Station, CCTV, China News Agency, Watch Weekly, China Youth Daily, Guangming Daily, Economic Daily, Workers' Daily, Half Moon Talk Magazine, Voice of the Straits Radio Station, Modern China Magazine, Tuanjie Daily, Taiwan Voice Magazine, and Fujian Daily.

Taiwanese colleagues enthusiastically recorded this new moment in the development of cross-strait relations. Eighteen mainland journalists from 17 news organizations were warmly greeted at the airport by the Taiwan Strait Exchange Foundation. Zhai Xiangqian, the head of the interview group, told his Taiwanese counterparts waiting at the airport that the trip will open the door for two-way news exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Through a week of interviews, the interview group will report what they have seen and heard in Taiwan realistically, so that the mainland people can understand Taiwan. To enhance mutual understanding between the two sides and communicate the feelings between the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He called the trip "hard-won" and hoped that the door of cross-strait exchanges would be opened more and more, and more mainland journalists could visit, visit and interview Taiwan. Gu Zhenfu, chairperson of the "SEF", who invited and promoted the trip, said in an afternoon interview with mainland reporters that it takes the joint efforts of all Chinese people to eliminate doubts and build consensus between the two sides. The "SEF" is willing to become a bridge for cross-strait exchanges.
