Taipei, Sept. 22 (CNA) The 2025 Taipei-Shanghai City Forum, the only platform for direct exchanges between officials on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, will not take place in September as scheduled due to "unresolved details," the Taipei City government said Monday. In a news release, the city government said both sides agreed the annual forum should be well-prepared rather than rushed. Deputy Mayor Lin Yi-hua (林奕華) told reporters the city government is still working on two memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with Taiwan's central government and its Shanghai counterpart. Deputy Mayor Lin Yi-hua speaks to reporters on Monday. "The Immigration Agency had planned to issue the visas today, so I am surprised by the Taipei City government's decision, but I have little idea about its reason," he said.
