The United States on Thursday welcomed the resumption of talks between the Chinese mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF).
"We believe it's important for the two to work toward a peaceful resolution of the cross-Strait issues," Gonzalo Gallegos, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, said at a news briefing.
"Our understanding is that they had a good conversation. And we are hoping that they will continue in the future," he added.
ARATS chairman Chen Yunlin and SEF chairman Chiang Pin-kun held their talks in Beijing Thursday morning. It was the first round of talks between the ARATS and the SEF in nine years.
