BEIJING, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Premier Wen Jiabao said Friday the Chinese mainland and Taiwan should strengthen economic cooperation in face of the global economic crisis.

The economic ties between the mainland and Taiwan are almost "indiscerptible", and with such close ties, "We should step up cooperation to confront the financial crisis together," Wen said at a press conference after the National People's Congress concluded its annual session.
