Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Katharine Chang said on Tuesday that so far she has had no interaction with China’s Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) Minister Zhang Zhijun.

At the Legislature, KMT legislator Lin Te-fu asked her whether the new government, which has been in office for half a month, has had any interaction with China.

Chang said that so far she has had no interaction with Zhang Zhijun, adding that however, continuing communication is needed for maintaining cross-strait relations and that the government will continue its effort to make it happen.

Meanwhile, Premier Lin Chuan agrees that the two sides across the strait should show goodwill for each other and that there are many ways of interaction to approach this issue. He said that the government will try its best to create more goodwill for the two sides.     [FULL  STORY]
