Cross-Straits talks continue progress

Cross-Straits talks continue progress: "According to Taiwan media, if Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwan's current 'president' takes over the KMT chairmanship in July, it may usher in the first meeting between him and CPC leader Hu Jintao.

Wu Nengyuan, director of the Fujian-based Institute of Taiwan Studies said the KMT is certain a warmer cross-Straits relationship, especially with closer economic ties, is important to the party and the public."
