Taiwan, China Talk About Adding Charter Flights

From AP:

A Taiwanese delegation arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for talks on expanding charter flights between Taiwan and China — the first formal discussions between the sides since 1999.

The 19-member Taiwanese team is being led by Chiang Pin-kung, chairman of the quasi-governmental Straits Exchange Foundation, and includes two vice Cabinet ministers — the highest-ranking Taiwanese officials ever to participate in bilateral talks.

Speaking to a group of reporters in Beijing, Chiang said the upcoming talks are a good beginning and he expects to see more cross-straits negotiations in the future.
