摘　　要：After nine years, the Chinese mainland’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, two nongovernmental organizations authorized to engage in talks on issues related to exchanges across the Taiwan Straits, resumed talks in Beijing on June 12-13, reaching two important agreements. Weekend cross-straits charter flights and mainland tourists crossing the pond to visit Taiwan are now a reality. The breakthrough talks augur well for the development of relations across the Taiwan Straits and prompted Zhou Zhihuai, Deputy Director of the Institute of Taiwan Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, to make several observations on this significant step and the impact going forward, in an article published by China Review News, a Hong Kong-based news agency.After nine years, the Chinese mainland’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, two nongovernmental organizations authorized to engage in talks on issues related to exchanges across the Taiwan Straits, resumed talks in Beijing on June 12-13, reaching two important agreements.
