Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Friday expressed strong desire to go to Taiwan for a visit, saying he would crawl to the island even if he could not walk at old age.
"Although I am 67 years old, if it is possible, I would like to go to Taiwan," he said.
"Even if I can no longer walk, I will crawl to Taiwan," he told a press conference after the closing meeting of the national legislature's annual session.
