TAIWAN leader Ma Ying-jeou said yesterday the inking of an economic pact between the island and the Chinese mainland was only the start for a series of negotiations over coming years.
"Cross-Strait economic and trade ties will be closer after the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement is reached," Ma said at a press conference in Taipei marking his two years in office.
He hoped people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait would solve cross-Strait issues with the wisdom of the Chinese nation.
"This goal might not be achieved overnight. We hope to find solutions step by step," he said. "This will be beneficial for both sides."
The two sides have realized direct air and sea transport links and postal services over the past two years and mainland tourists are now visiting Taiwan as well.
The measures had pushed cross-Strait relations "from confrontation to negotiation and from conflict to reconciliation," he said.
