Taiwan protesters agree to meet president over trade deal

The leaders of student protesters who have occupied Taiwan's parliament building in the past week have accepted Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's offer to meet to resolve an impasse about a controversial trade pact with mainland China.

The students announced their decision on Tuesday at Taiwan's parliament building, where hundreds of demonstrators have gathered inside and outside the building to challenge the trade agreement.

Ma had offered to meet the student leaders earlier on Tuesday, saying he was ready to talk without setting any preconditions.

"Without setting any preconditions, President Ma Ying-jeou is willing to invite student representatives to the presidential office for a dialogue about the cross-strait services trade agreement," Lee Jia-fei, Ma's spokesperson, said in a statement.
