(朱立倫) is set to meet with Chinese President and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping (習近平) in Beijing on May 4 after a forum in Shanghai, the KMT announced yesterday.
China’s Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang (馬曉光) announced the meeting simultaneously, calling it “a major event” in high-level exchanges between the CCP and the KMT.
Specific issues up for discussion were not revealed by either party, except a broad theme of “prospects for cross-strait relations” and “welfare of the people on both sides of the [Taiwan] Strait,” according to their statements.
“The agenda is not yet finalized, because it takes time to consult each other on details,” KMT spokesperson Yang Wei-chung (楊偉中) said.
