Liang Weiguo took the stage and read Yu Wenjin's congratulatory letter, in which Mr. Yu called for the implementation of the "Three People's Principles" to strive for peaceful reunification and complete the great mission entrusted by history. Xia Daming, director of the Overseas Department of the Kuomintang, pointed out in his congratulatory letter that Ma Ying-jeou's supporters should unite together to coordinate the planning of election support matters and devote themselves to Ma Ying-jeou's re-election. Alternate member of the Central Committee Yao Qichuan took the stage and delivered a speech. He emphasized the significance of supporting Ma Ying-jeou in the election. Although Ma Ying-jeou still has many shortcomings in the current administration, the public is welcome to actively point out, but he will continue to adhere to Ma Ying-jeou's basic position of actively cooperating with the mainland. Upgrading Taiwan and prospering the future are the aspirations of every Taiwanese people. He hopes that members of the Kuomintang and Ma Ying-jeou supporters will speak for themselves with their votes and work hard to create a stable and prosperous Taiwan. Yao Qichuan solemnly took out the Kuomintang party flag and the flag of the Ma Ying-jeou Support Association, and appointed Wang Wei and Wang Ting, the standing committee member of the directly affiliated branch and the president of the support association, and the whole audience sang the party anthem and shouted the "Ma Ying-jeou" slogan. Wang Wei and Wang Ting said that implementing the instructions of the central government, organizing the activities of local party members, and actively recruiting people who support Ma Ying-jeou are their most important tasks at the moment. Currently, active preparations are underway for the return to Taiwan group during the Double Ten Festival and the campaign group activities in January next year. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait seek common development, support Ma Ying-jeou's peace talks with the mainland, and actively support Ma Ying-jeou's re-election. This has also become the cornerstone of the local overseas Chinese community's support for the establishment of these two new groups.
