The Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Kuomintang (KMT) haven't decided if they will hold a forum this year, a mainland spokesman said Friday.

Yang Yi, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, meanwhile told a press conference the mainland-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) will convene its second executive council meeting on June 3.

The mainland welcomes the KMT to again organize a group to pay homage to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum in Nanjing next year, he added.
