今年1月26日,两岸谈判代表在北京正式商签经济合作框架协议(台称ECFA)展开首次专家工作商谈,达成多项共识。舆论普遍认为,作为程序性商谈,此次会谈具高度象征意义,有助两岸经济合作框架协议正式签署,对两岸关系和平发展具有重要作用。 On January 26 this year, the negotiators on both sides of the Strait reached a formal agreement on the framework for economic cooperation in Beijing (Taiwan’s ECFA) to hold the first expert working meeting and reached a number of consensuses. Public opinion generally holds that as a procedural agreement, the talks are highly symbolic and will help the formal signing of the framework agreement for cross-Strait economic cooperation and play an important role in the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.
