The Taiwan government urged China to resume bilateral exchanges “without preconditions” after China announced it would once again allow tourists from Fujian Province to travel to the Taiwan-controlled Matsu Islands, Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

The eased travel restrictions were announced after a meeting was held between China’s deputy minister of culture and tourism Rao Quan and a legislative delegation led by Kuomintang (KMT) caucus whip Fu Kun-chi.
