The two met for the first time in Beijing a year ago when Lien, then chairman
of the Taiwan-based KMT party, had an "ice-breaking"visit to the mainland. It
was also the first meeting between top leaders of the CPC and KMT in 60 years.
Lien arrived on Thursday leading a KMT delegation to attend a two-day

The mainland announced a new package of preferential policies to promote
economic and trade relations across the Taiwan Straits at the forum.
The participants also passed joint proposals for closer economic and trade
ties across the Straits.
