A high-level thinktank forum jointly organized by research institutions affiliated with the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang commenced in Beijing on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. The event marks the latest effort to foster dialogue between the two political parties across the Taiwan Strait.
With the theme "Prospects for Cross-Strait Exchange and Cooperation," the forum brings together more than 100 participants including policy researchers, academic experts, and representatives from various sectors. Discussions focus on enhancing economic collaboration, cultural exchanges, and people-to-people connectivity between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan region.
This year's forum occurs amid renewed emphasis on maintaining stability in cross-strait relations, with participants exploring practical cooperation mechanisms in technology innovation and youth entrepreneurship. The dialogue follows recent commitments by both parties to promote peaceful development through non-governmental exchanges.
