From AFP:
President Ma Ying-jeou said Thursday Taiwan could sign an historic trade deal with China as early as June and that it would bring major benefits to the whole Asian region.
In an interview with AFP, Ma said the framework agreement was just a first step, but that he was confident it would lead to deeper trade agreements with China and continue to lower tensions between the former enemies.
“We do have some difficulties but we are trying our best to make that happen, hoping to get it done before June,” said Ma.
