BEIJING, Oct. 5 -- Taiwan's participation in the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting should be in accord with the relevant memorandum of understanding (MOU), a mainland official said on Wednesday.

Taiwan authorities have announced personnel selected to attend the meeting in November in Lima, capital of Peru.

An Fengshan, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, said that the Chinese mainland has been "quite clear about the issue," which is that Taiwan's attendance at APEC-related events should be in line with APEC-related MOUs.
