On October 25, Minister-Counselor & Consul General Cai Zhifeng of the Embassy of China in Australia was invited to attend a symposium hosted by the Federation of the Chinese Associations of the Australian Capital Territory and the Australian Capital Territory council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China, which marked the establishment of the Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration.

In his remarks, Mr. Cai said that this day eighty years ago, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were restored to China's sovereignty and jurisdiction. The restoration of Taiwan is an important outcome of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It stands as a compelling proof of the Chinese government's resumption of the exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan. It is also an important part of the historical fact and legal chain that Taiwan is an integral part of China, and a national memory shared by all Chinese. I hope that the Chinese communities in Australia will take the establishment of Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration as an opportunity to resolutely oppose separatist activities aimed at seeking "Taiwan independence" and to make new contributions to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and promoting national reunification.

Participants from the Canberra Chinese community expressed that the establishment of the Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration holds great significance. They expressed their firm commitment to upholding the One China principle and to contributing to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
