Taiwan’s Ma To Renew Truce With China: Report

From AFP:

Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou plans to bolster the island’s ties with China later this month to coincide with the 50th anniversary of a battle between the cross-Strait rivals, a report said Sunday.

Ma will fly to Kinmen, a Taiwan-controlled fortified island group just miles off China’s southeastern Xiamen city, on August 23, and deliver a speech “of historic significance,” the United Daily News said.

Ma is expected to extend an olive branch to Beijing during his speech centring on “rapprochement and peace,” it said.
