The Chinese mainland will set no preconditions for opening talks with Taiwan on a proposed "comprehensive economic cooperation agreement" (CECA), commerce Minister Chen Deming said in Beijing Tuesday.

It would benefit both sides of the Taiwan Straits if such an agreement could be signed as soon as possible, said Chen at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's legislative body.
