Chen emphasized that through "synchronization between party and government," the DPP would be able to play a role assisting government agencies, especially in the promotion of "political party diplomacy," promotion of cross-strait relations, and improvement of relations with opposition parties. Beyond government functions, in future the party could have an even more active role.
陳水扁強調，透過「黨政同步」，民進黨將主動扮演政府部門的協助角色，特別是有關政黨外交的推動、兩岸關係的推展，甚至是朝野政黨的和解與合作等，在政府的功能之外，日後政黨都可以有更積極的作為。
