Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Saturday pledged to promote peaceful relations with Taiwan and reunification and that his government firmly opposes any separatist activities or any outside interference.

Speaking at the opening of the annual meeting of the Chinese parliament, Chiang said that Beijing adheres to the "one China" principle that Taiwan is part of China.

"All of us, the Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, should unite together to advance the great and glorious cause of China's rejuvenation," Chiang said.

A US delegation led by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mike Mullen is scheduled to visit Taiwan this week to meet with President Tsai Ing-wen and other Taiwanese officials to show their support for the island. The planned visit drew criticism from Beijing.

China considers Taiwan an inalienable part of its territory or sovereignty.
