The CPC and KMT jointly issued a press communique April 29, 2005, which says that the two parties have reached a five-point consensus for "promoting peace and development across the Taiwan Straits".

According to the communique, the two parties have agreed to work together to promote "the earlier restoration of cross-Straitstalks", "the formal end of the state of hostility across the Straits", "all-round economic and trade relations and 'three direct links' across the Straits" and the "discussions about Taiwan's participation in international activities", such as the activities of the World Health Organization.
