The new Chinese government will continue to follow unswervingly the policy of peaceful reunification of the motherland on the basis of "one country, two systems", said new Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao Tuesday.

"I want to take this occasion to extend my best regards to the Taiwan compatriots", said Wen at a press conference.
It's the common aspiration of the entire Chinese people, including the Taiwan compatriots, to see the complete reunification of the motherland, said Wen.

On the basis of the one-China principle, the Chinese government will seek the early restoration of dialogue and talks across the Taiwan Straits while opposing Taiwan independence, he said.

The Chinese government will also work hard to promote economic and cultural exchanges across the Straits and work for the early realization of the three direct links between the two sides, he added.
