Wang Chih-kang explains that both sides shared a belief that "Taiwan could not be absent" from Expo 2010, and both were actively and positively negotiating. What's more, amid an atmosphere of reconciliation, both sides were willing to give ground on some points that were particularly important to the other side.
提及這段過程，王志剛表示，對於本屆世博，兩岸早已有「台灣不能缺席」的共識，在談判中自然會採取較為積極、正面的態度，並在兩岸大和解的氛圍中，同意立基於現況，為對方設想難處，相互諒解及妥協。
