Chinese mainland, Taiwan start second expert-level talks on economic pact

From: Xinhua

Experts from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan Wednesday started their second round of talks in Taipei to pave the way for a long-awaited economic deal that is expected to boost cross-Strait economic ties.

The two-day meeting in Tashi, Taoyuan county, is expected to speed up the consultation process of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), which is intended to normalize mainland-Taiwan economic ties and bring the two economies closer.

The two sides are expected to exchange views on operational and technological topics including the main content of the agreement and consultation arrangements in the future.
