KMT chairman meets ARATS chairman in China
On Monday morning, KMT Chairman Lien Chan met up with the chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS), Wang Daohan and presented him with a painting created by the late, former chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Ku Chen-fu. The two men praised the late SEF chairman for his contributions to cross-strait relations.
The ninety-year-old chairman of ARATS, Wang Daohan met with KMT chairman Lien Chan despite having checked-into a hospital for his worsening physical condition. Wang presented Lien with three gifts, one of which is a history of Taiwan in the form of traditional Chinese text, the official text used in Taiwan. In return, Lien presented Wang with a painting created by former SEF Chairman Ku Chen-fu, which Koo had promised to paint for Wang while he was alive, and along with a letter written by the late chairman’s widow.
