A mainland official said Wednesday that the Second Straits Forum will be held on June 19 in southeastern Fujian Province which is adjacent to Taiwan across the sea.
The largest non-official cross-Straits forum to date designed to promote cross-Straits exchanges, will have its main venue in Xiamen, said Yang Yi, spokesman of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office.
Yang said the forum would strengthen its role as a civilian cross-Straits exchange platform and fulfil public demand to enhance communication between people both sides of the Straits.
The forum would be jointly hosted by non-governmental organizations of both sides, he said, adding he warmly welcomed the participation of people from Taiwan.
