China and Taiwan Agree on Compensation for Fishermen's Deaths

Deal includes repatriation of bodies and aims to ease tensions in the Taiwan Strait after months of negotiations.

The agreement follows the deaths of two Chinese fishermen in February after a chase by Taiwan's coastguard.
Compensation will be provided to the victims' families, though details remain undisclosed.
The incident occurred near Kinmen, a Taiwanese archipelago close to the Chinese mainland.
Both sides held 15 rounds of talks over five months to reach the consensus.
The deal is expected to reduce tensions and improve cross-strait relations.
