Reportedly, the interaction took place during a high level event. Both leaders greeted each other and talked briefly, the handshake symbolized a possible step toward better communication between Taiwan and China.
As per reports, relations between Taiwan and China have been tense for many years. China considers Taiwan as it territory, while Taiwan sees itself as self governed, making such meetings are very rare.
Experts say this meeting could help reduce tensions and open dialogue. However, no major agreements were announced during interaction, and the meetings merely showed a willingness to communicate.
The last similar high-level meeting between a Taiwanese political figure and China’s top leadership happened nearly a decade ago.
