Shanghai-Taipei City Forum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shanghai-Taipei City Forum (simplified Chinese: 上海-台北城市论坛; traditional Chinese: 上海-臺北城市論壇; pinyin: Shànghǎi-Táiběi Chéngshì Lùntán) or Taipei-Shanghai City Forum (simplified Chinese: 台北-上海城市论坛; traditional Chinese: 臺北-上海城市論壇; pinyin: Táiběi-Shànghǎi Chéngshì Lùntán) is an annual forum between the government and civilians of Shanghai and Taipei.

The forum has been described as a way to reduce tensions between Taipei and Beijing by Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an.[1]

History

[edit]

The forum was initially proposed in 2001 by civilian group as a channel for exchange between the two cities, and eventually the forum was launched in 2010 by Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-pin.[2][3]

During the 2023 edition of the forum the mayors of Shanghai and Taipei stressed the importance of exchanges between the two cities and cross-strait cooperation.[4]

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council approved planned agreements between Taipei and Shanghai before the 2024 edition of the forum, which it said will focus on medical care and environmental initiatives.[5]
