Taipei - Taiwan and China might open representative offices in each other's capitals to promote cultural exchanges, an official said Thursday. Chang Yu-yue, vice minister of the Council for Cultural Affairs, said broad consensus on the issue was reached with Zhao Shaohua, China's vice minister of culture, who is visiting Taiwan.
Chang told the Central News Agency (CNA) that talks on the semi- official cultural representative offices could be held next year.
Taiwan and China, split since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, are due to open tourism representative offices next spring.
