                    [Summary] => 

Aviation relations between the Philippines and Taiwan hit a new low as Taipei indicated its inability to send representatives to today's official talks with their Philippine counterparts.

Less than 24 hours before the two-day talks were to open in Manila, officials from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) had yet to confirm their attendance in the crucial meeting.

The apparent boycott is a violation of a provisional agreement reached earlier by TECO director Hsien Ching Chan and the Manila Economic and Cultural Office's (MECO) Eva Estrada Kalaw.

Malacañang urged Taiwan yesterday to return to the negotiating table to settle a renewed aviation dispute.
