Taiwan's de facto envoy to Hong Kong, Pao Cheng-kang, has finally received approval to enter the city and assume his post, after a five-month wait.
Chiu Tai-san, spokesman for Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, yesterday confirmed that Hong Kong authorities had approved Mr Pao's entry.
'They have given us the approval,' said Mr Chiu.
'As soon as Mr Pao receives the permit, he will go to Hong Kong right away.'
He could not say exactly when Mr Pao planned to arrive, saying only that he believed it would happen 'very soon'.
Mr Pao is a former chief secretary of the Mainland Affairs Council.
