In response to media queries on the recently concluded meeting in Taiwan between the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS), the MFA spokesperson said:
"Singapore welcomes the successful conclusion of the first-ever SEF-ARATS talks held in Taiwan and the four agreements signed. These talks mark the continuation of dialogue and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. We are encouraged by the decision of both sides to continue their efforts to improve cross-strait relations to achieve win-win benefits for their people. This is good for regional stability."
