WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States gave a cautious welcome Monday to Chinese President Hu Jintao’s call for a peace agreement with long-time rival Taiwan.
Washington “encourages any movement by parties on both sides of the strait toward a peaceful agreement,” State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson told AFP, without specifically citing Hu’s call.
Taiwan and China should “increase communication and dialogue that will lead to a peaceful resolution of their differences,” she said.
