金馬發展規劃李縣長盼中央速核定

On April 16, Kinmen County Magistrate Li Zhu Feng crossed Taiwan Strait with his county government team and visited Executive Yuan Secretary General Shue Sian-Chuan (who also serves as Fujian Province Governor). Besides communicating the opinions and needs of people of Kinmen County, Magistrate Li urged the central government to finalize(1) the Kinmen and Mazu Mid-to-Long-Term Economic Development Plan proposed by President Ma last year as soon as possible. Magistrate Li also asked Secretary General Shue Sian-Chuan to intervene(2) in ensuing implementations.
金門縣長李炷烽4月16率縣府團隊專程跨海赴行政院拜會祕書長薛香川（兼福建省政府主席），李縣長除向中央表達金門地區心聲、發展需求，同時希望馬總統去年提出「金馬中長期經濟發展規劃」能儘速拍板定案，至於有關後續推動措施，也爭取薛秘書長居間協助大力促成。

Kinmen County Magistrate Li Zhu Feng and his county government team had an audience with(3) Executive Yuan Secretary General Shue Sian-Chuan and met with officials from concerned government agencies. In the meeting, Magistrate Li first expressed his gratitude for the fact that the various reform policies introduced by the government since President Ma swore a year ago have begun to benefit Kinmen. For issues like second phase and third phase of airport construction projects, he implored(4) the central government to go along.(5) He especially urged the government to sanction(6) the Kinmen and Mazu Mid-to-Long-Term Economic Development Plan presented by President Ma last year as soon as possible and take necessary measures to ensure its effective execution.
李縣長及縣府團隊赴行政院拜會秘書長薛香川，並與相關部會官員座談，李縣長在會中首先感謝馬政府上台1年來各項改革措施，已對金門漸產生實質效益，有關相應措施如機場二、三期工程等議題，則爭取中央配合辦理，尤其，針對馬總統去年提出「金馬中長期經濟發展規劃」，希儘速核定，以及配合必需措施爭取加速推動執行。

Magistrate Li shared with those present in the meeting issues challenging development of Kinmen County and introduced six proposals, including Kinmen (Lieh) Bridge Construction Project, Jinxia (Deng) Bridge Construction Project, Mainland Water Supply Project, Project for Upgrading National Kinmen Institute of Technology to University, Project for Development of "Kinmen University Island" and Extending Admission to Mainland China Students, and Project for Simplifying the Procedures for Processing Travel Documents of Mainland China Residents Visiting Kinmen. Breakthroughs for these pressing issues necessitate(7) the assistance of the central government.
會中，李縣長提出金門縣發展面臨的問題，並提出6大提案，主要有金門(烈)大橋興建規劃案、金廈(嶝)大橋興建規劃案、大陸引水、金門技術學院申請改名為大學、推動「金門大學島」試辦招收大陸學生來金就讀、簡化大陸人士來金旅遊辦證手續等等議題，均待突破，請中央協助解決。

Magistrate Li also proposed two suggestions. Firstly, responsible agencies of the central government are encouraged to abridge(8) the procedures for handling travel applications of Mainland China residents visiting Kinmen; namely, allowing Mainland China residents to file for(9) entry with legal identification documents issued by their government. In this manner, the number of Mainland China visitors to Kinmen may be increased to boost Kinmen's tourism industry. Secondly, the Strait Exchange Foundation should be urged to negotiate with corresponding Mainland agency for adopting a Kinmen travel regulation by Mainland China that is not as strict as the requirements for visiting Taiwan, so making it easier for more Mainland China residents to visit Kinmen.
李縣長另也提出兩項建議：請中央主管部門同意簡化大陸居民來金門旅遊手續，即大陸居民得採合法身分證件申請入境，增加大陸旅客來金門旅遊以帶動金門觀光產業。請協調海基會與大陸主管單位協調開放大陸來金旅遊得採取相較於「赴台旅遊」較寬鬆的作法，俾利更多大陸居民來金旅遊。
