Top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng on Monday said the mainland is willing to open its service sector to Taiwan when meeting with a delegation from Taiwan's General Chamber of Commerce, headed by chairman Lai Cheng-i.

"Cross-Straits relations should keep making progress and the two sides should increase interaction and deepen communication, continually enhancing mutual understanding," said Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

While promising to open mainland's service sector, Yu also said Taiwan's enterprises have the capability to take the opportunities generated in the mainland market.

Yu also expressed his hope that the chamber of commerce could bridge cross-Strait service sectors.
