    Beijing and Taiwan leaders to meet for the first time in 66 years, in Singapore

    A spokesman for Ma said no private agreements will be signed during the talks with Xi, and stressed the aim was to solidify relations between the two sides

    Just weeks before Taiwan holds general and presidential elections, Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou announced he will hold face-to-face talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Singapore. The meeting Saturday will be the first between Taiwanese and Chinese leaders since 1949 and authorities in China are predicting it will be a “major historic milestone” in the development of cross-strait relations.
