Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou said he would try to meet with
President Xi Jinping in the fall next year to push for a historical
breakthrough in the relationship between Taiwan and the
Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong-based Yazhou Zhoukan
reported Wednesday.
Ma said that he will try to go to Beijing, where the 2014 APEC
Summit will be held, and would like to take the trip as an
opportunity to meet with President Xi.
However, Ma pointed out that a public vote will be needed if the
two sides want to sign a peace agreement.
Fan Liqing, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the
State Council, said earlier that the two sides should arrange
meetings between their leaders independently, rather than
piggy-backing on international occasions.
