Hosts all smiles as summit concludes
"History
will record that on this day...we have
transformed our long-term friendships
into even stronger binding
partnerships," President Chen
Shui-bian said yesterday as the one-day
summit with visiting Central American
and Caribbean leaders held in Taipei
came to a conclusion.
Top
government officials were all smiles
yesterday evening after Taiwan had
signed its first ever free-trade
agreement and won backing from the
leaders of the eight nations for its bid
to join international organizations.
