Substantial progress has taken place in cross-Strait economic relations and in reducing military tensions since Ma Ying-jeou took office in Taipei last May. While adhering to their respective positions on sovereignty, Ma and PRC leader Hu Jintao have both advocated a comprehensive economic cooperation agreement, a peace accord, and a political framework for long-term peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. Dr. Huang addressed the parallel strategic aspects of Taipei's and Beijing's approaches, Ma Ying-jeou's guidelines for handling cross-Strait relations, the current and future agenda and, in this context, how Taiwan-U.S. relations could be strengthened.
