The Cabinet approved its statement on 2011 administrative policy during a meeting Thursday. The statement, along with the government's 2011 general budgetary bill, will be presented to the Legislative Yuan for examination and approval. Premier Wu Den-yih said after the meeting that the Executive Yuan's policy was aimed at translating President Ma Ying-Jeou's vision for the country into a road map. He urged the agencies under the Executive Yuan to play their parts in carrying out the policy. A press release issued by the Research, Development and Evaluation Commission -- the supreme planning agency of the nation -- said the policy statement includes four directions: bolstering the economy; improving reconstruction after disaster and beefing up prevention of mudslides and flooding; developing peace with China while exploring diplomatic ties with other states pragmatically; and promoting social security. As to developing peace with China while exploring diplomatic ties with other states, the aims listed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs included cementing diplomatic ties with allies and improving cooperation and regular exchanges with states that do not recognize Taiwan diplomatically. Meanwhile, the Mainland Affairs Council will push for pragmatic negotiations with China while promoting and institutionalizing economic and trade exchanges. The Government Information Office will enhance the profile of the Republic of China on the international stage when it marks the country's 100th founding anniversary, the statement said.
