We must, however, proceed with extreme caution in our mainland policy. For obvious reasons, our first concern must continue to be our national security. And our policy of no official contact with the Chinese Communist regime will remain unchanged. President Lee Teng-hui summed it up well when he declared that our mainland policy cannot be based on a romantic longing, but is a serious task that must be carefully undertaken.
不過，我們的大陸政策仍須審慎行事，理由至為明顯，我們至感關切的是維護國家安全，所以中華民國政府對中共政權的「三不政策」絕不改變，這也即是李總統所宣示，我們的大陸政策不應是浪漫的憧憬而是嚴肅課題的真意，基於此，我們必須堅守間接、非官方及漸進的政策。
