Reconciliation

"Taiwan president promotes peace with China in speech"

An article from m&c reports about a speech Mr. Ma made while attending the 50 anniversary of the kingman battle. 

"In his speech entitled, From Killing Field to Peace Square, Ma said cross-strait reconciliation which began when he took office on May 20 has paved the way for peace, and both sides must gradually build up mutual trust."

reconciliation

n. the action of reconciling, which is to restore to friendship or harmony

synonymous: settle, resolve

Ma has certainly very keen on practicing his softer approach toward the Beijin government. Let's hope he doesn't forgett that it's the Taiwanese who got him to the presidency, not the Chinese.
