Wednesday, 11 November 2009 07:11 Taipei Times

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) on financial supervisory cooperation between Taiwan and China could be signed next week at the earliest, Premier Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) said in an interview with the Central News Agency (CNA) yesterday.

Signing the MOU is a “necessity” for Taiwan and China because it would be beneficial to cross-strait cooperation in the financial sector, Wu said, adding that there was “no doubt about that.”

Visiting former US attorney general Ramsey Clark yesterday repeated his call for the immediate release of former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁), saying the Taiwanese government would be viewed as Chen’s murderer if his health deteriorated further.

The 84-year-old human rights advocate urged President Ma Ying-jeou’s (馬英九) administration to act immediately on the suggestion of Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) to stop playing “a dangerous game of denying him freedom” and grant Chen a medical parole.
