TAIWAN CALLS FOR THREE-WAY TALKS ON SENKAKUS DISPUTE

TAIPEI – Taiwan’s President, Ma Ying-jeou, has called for three-way talks with China and Japan on fishing and development of natural resources in the East China Sea, and the shelving of their sovereignty disputes over the Diaoyutai Islands. In an interview with Japan's Kyodo News, Ma said he hopes the East China Sea can become "a sea of peace and co-operation." Disputes in the area cannot be resolved unless Taiwan, China and Japan are all part of the process, said Ma.
