The 11th Straits Forum will be held in Fujian province from June 15 to 21, with the main venue in Xiamen.

A total of 33 activities will be held this year to promote exchanges and mutual trust between people from both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

Additionally, Xiamen will open green channels at airports, stations and ports to facilitate customs clearances during the forum.

Over the past 10 years, the number of sponsors for the Straits Forum has grown from 54 to 82 and more than 100,000 Taiwan compatriots have participated.

The forum has become the biggest cross-Straits event in terms of number of participants, activity scale and scope.
