upcoming ministerial meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum to be held from Nov. 17-18 in Lima, Peru, Minister of Economic Affairs Lee Chih-kung (李世光) said on Thursday.

Minister Lee, who will co-head the Taiwan delegation to the annual APEC meeting with Minister Chen Tain-jy (陳添枝) from the National Development Council, said that no meetings have been arranged with the Chinese delegation on the sideline of the APEC conference.

Responding to reporters questions as to whether Taiwan’s delegates will interact with their Chinese counterparts at the meeting, Lee observed that delegates from different countries often interact at international conferences and said they would do so “naturally” whether at the APEC meeting or other diplomatic occasions.    [FULL  STORY]
