SHANGHAI, May 3 (Xinhuanet) --
Visiting Chinese Kuomntang (KMT) party Chairman Lien Chan said here Tuesday his
mainland tour is "pleasant, smooth and successful", and thanked the mainland
side for their hospitality.
Lien gave a brief speech Tuesday
afternoon at the airport in Shanghai, the last stop of his eight-day "journey of
peace" that also brought him to Nanjing, Beijing and Xi'an.
"Wherever we went, citizens
voluntarily demonstrated to us their friendship and hospitality," he said before
boarding the plane. "This is a most valuable and memorable experience for us."
"It's
hard to describe with words how we feel now. All I can say is thank you, thank
you again. Wish you healthy and all the best," he said.
