KMT-CCP forum likely to be delayed to next monthStaff writer, with CNAA Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) member yesterday said the KMT-CCP Forum is likely to be postponed to next month and become “interactions between think tanks,” limited to non-political discussions. Local media had reported that the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were to resume the Cross-Strait Economic, Trade and Culture Forum, known as the KMT-CCP Forum, in Beijing from next week, ending a nine-year suspension.

As the first KMT-CCP forum under Cheng’s leadership, it would set the tone on “interactions between think tanks,” the member said, so the forum might no longer retain its original name.
