Commenting on mayoral elections in the island's five cities, which concluded Saturday, spokeswoman Fan Liqing said the mainland had "paid close attention" to the results.

The mainland would steadily promote cross-Straits relations and improve the living standards of people on both sides, she said.

"We hope Taiwan society is stable and people live and work in peace," she said.

Fan said that over the past two years, improved cross-Straits relations had brought tangible benefits to people on both sides, and the peaceful development of relations had become common ground.

Of the five mayoral elections, the ruling Kuomintang won three while the opposition Democratic Progressive Party won two.
