Commenting on the results of the talks, MAC Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) told reporters last night that the government did its best in regard to the agreement.

Asked whether the negotiations could serve as a model for talks on direct links, Tsai said: "It could be a reference, but can't be mirrored in all aspects."

The new pact will be reviewed after two years.

"We might add new flights after two years to fulfill the needs of passengers," Jan said.
