Broader cooperation

The package inked yesterday was another milestone in the development of relations across the Taiwan Straits.

Three agreements on regular cross-Straits flights, financial cooperation and joint crackdown on crimes were signed and consensus reached on mainland investment in the island.

This was the third round of talks in less than a year between Chen Yunlin, president of ARATS (Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits), and Chiang Pin-kung, chairman of SEF (Straits Exchange Foundation).
