The sixth regular meeting of the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Committee (ECC) will be held on August 5 in Beijing, the Chinese mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) announced Monday.

Zheng Lizhong, convener of the ECC on the mainland and executive vice president of ARATS, and Gao Yan, ECC chief representative and vice commerce minister, will head the mainland delegation to attend the meeting, ARATS said in a press release.

The decision was made according to the 11th provision in the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), a wide-ranging cross-Strait economic pact signed in 2010.

At the meeting, ECC members from the two sides will review the implementation of the ECFA, exchange views on strengthening cross-Strait economic cooperation, and make arrangements for future work, according to the press release.

The last regular meeting was held in December last year in Taipei, Taiwan.
