could be sealed soon, as bilateral talks over the matter are moving in a positive direction, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) official said on Thursday.
Speaking during a press event, Anna Kao (高安), director-general of MOFA’s Department of European Affairs, said both Taipei and Paris are still working on technical issues over the proposed pact.
Some technical issues, including altering wording in the agreement, will have to involve different government branches of the two countries and thus the process takes time, Kao said when asked by The China Post to comment on the latest progress on the proposal.
Kao said the ministry would make an official announcement as soon as the deal is finalized.
Taiwan has been trying to reach the deal with France for some time. [FULL STORY]
