At a CSIS/ Brookings Briefing on Taiwan's role in peace and stability in East Asia, Taipei Mayor and KMT Chairman Ma Ying Jeou reiterates that the KMT will abide by the Five 'No's,' and maintain the status quo without pursuing permanent separation from China and immediate reunification with the mainland. He also suggests Five 'Dos':

• Resumption of cross-strait talks on the basis on the 1992 Consensus;
• Negotiating a peace accord with the mainland, including military confidence-building measures;
• Facilitate and accelerate economic exchanges leading eventually to the formation of a common market across the Taiwan Strait;
• Negotiating a modus vivendi regarding Taiwan’s participation in international activities;
• Accelerate change in the cultural and educational arena.
