From AFP:
Taiwan’s vice president-elect left for China Friday for a forum that may include talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao, in what would be the highest-level contact ever between Beijing and Taipei.
“I will use the Boao Forum to introduce the new blueprint for Taiwan’s future economic development in the hope that Taiwan’s economy can connect with the world,” Vincent Siew told reporters at the airport.
“We will also make more friends and exchange our views with others,” he said, before boarding a flight to Hong Kong where he will transit to the southern Chinese island of Hainan.
Siew declined comment when asked about a possible meeting with Hu.
