BEIJING, May 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Media in Thailand, Indonesia, Bulgaria and Singapore have made positive comments on last week's historic meeting between General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Hu Jintao and visiting Chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party (KMT) Lien Chan.

　　An editorial carried in Thailand's Chinese language Asia Daily said Monday the historic Hu-Lien meeting and the issuing of the joint press communique made the two parties and all Chinese who are concerned about the cross-Straits relations feel pleasant and excited.

　　"This is a successful visit, a successful meeting and cooperation based on the one-China policy and the opposition to ' Taiwan Independence.' It unfolded a rosy prospect of peaceful intercourse and joint development across the Taiwan Straits," noted the editorial.

　　Indonesia's largest Chinese language newspaper International Daily News published an editorial Monday saying that the consensus reached during the Hu-Lien meeting is concerned with the interests of the Chinese people across the Taiwan Straits and the people in Asia at large, with a far-reaching significance for peace and stability in East Asia, the Asia-Pacific region and the world as a whole.

　　The newspaper said the meeting eased tensions across the Straits and delivered an important message to the world that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and the Chinese people have the wisdom and capability of achieving national reunification, and there's no need for foreign interference.

　　It also called on the Taiwan authorities to accept the fruits of the historic meeting and take concrete measures to drop the "Taiwan Independence" stance and work toward a peaceful reunification.

　　Bulgaria's independent newspaper the Monitor said in a commentary that the meeting between Hu and Lien is a historic one. It showed the willingness of the two sides to discard hostilities and reach reconciliation, the paper said.

　　Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao commented on Monday that in their historic meeting, Hu sought to "seek common points while reserving differences" and Lien tried to "gain mutual help through a win-win deal."

　　Lien, leading a KMT delegation, kicked off a week-long visit to China's mainland on April 26, the first by a top KMT leader since 1949. The journey includes visits to four mainland cities -- Nanjing, Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai.
