Taiwan's diplomatic policies are viable: Ma
President calls for unity in support of economic liberalization
President Ma Ying-jeou called on the Legislative Yuan to speed up the review
of a services trade agreement with China

He said it would demonstrate the government's unified support for economic
liberalization.

Speaking at a reception to celebrate a free trade pact signed by Taiwan and
Singapore, Ma said Taiwan has begun talking about signing economic
cooperation agreements with major trading partners, including China, Japan
and the United States.

He added, however, that Taiwan is "lagging far behind" Singapore, which had
signed six major trade agreements with its partners

He hopes the review of an agreement between Taiwan and China will begin as
soon as possible to "demonstrate the support of both the Ezecutive and the
Legislative branches for the nation's policy of liberalizing its economy."
Russia
Russia's Foreign Ministry says Syria's main Western-backed opposition group
is refusing to participate in talks in Moscow.

A ministry spokesman says the Syrian National Coalition is ``blocking and
refusing to participate'' in the talks, which would focus on resolving the

Russian officials had hoped the talks would bolster prospects for a proposed
peace conference the U.S. and Russia are trying to convene in Ge ne va.
