Chinese president Xi Jinping has arrived in Singapore  with Taiwan’s president Ma Ying-jeou,  to attend China and Taiwan summir – the first such meeting since the end of the Chinese civil war. The mainly ethnic Chinese city-state is celebrating 25 years of diplomatic ties with Beijing. It is the first meeting which is to be held after their split in China war.

Singapore has consistently upheld a ‘One China’ policy and supported initiatives that contribute to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, including direct exchanges between the two sides such as the historic Wang-Koo talks held in Singapore in 1993.

Singapore’s then-prime minister Lee Kuan Yew acted as a channel for messages between the two sides before the talks.

Programmes:

• Singapore’s national broadcaster Channel NewsAsia showed Mr Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, emerging from his plane at Changi Airport before full military honours and a state banquet.
• Xi will first meet President Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
• Then,  he is scheduled to meet Ma at the Shangri-La hotel at 0700 GMT on 7th November 2015.
