Nuclear security on the table for cross-Straits talks

TIANJIN - Two organizations representing Taiwan and the mainland are expected to sign a cross-Straits nuclear power security cooperation agreement at the new round of talks on Thursday.

"Nuclear power safety is related to the health of everyone's lives on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and concerns the ecological environment that we share," said Chen Yunlin, president of the Beijing-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS).

The group will meet a delegation headed by the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Chairman Chiang Pin-kung, who arrived in Tianjin on Wednesday.
