The Ministry of National Defense is preparing to set up a think tank for contacts with China's military, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
The academic organization would serve as a conduit for contacts designed to raise mutual trust between the two rival nations, the Chinese-language United Evening News reported.
During the rule of President Chen Shui-bian from 2000 to 2008, China rebutted U.S. invitations to meet with Taiwanese military officials in Hawaii, the paper said.
Direct contacts between Taiwanese and Chinese military officers have been rare, even though numerous retired Taiwanese military have visited China for family and business purposes.
The new organization was originally designed to form part of the renowned Institute of International Relations at Taipei's National Chengchi University, but the Cabinet now wants the body to hold an autonomous administrative status, the paper reported.
