EIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- A delegation led by the Chinese mainland's top Taiwan affairs official is scheduled to visit the island's Kinmen County on Feb. 7 and 8, a mainland spokesman said Wednesday.

Zhang Zhijun, head of the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, will meet with Taiwan's mainland affairs chief, Wang Yu-chi, in Kinmen to discuss cross-Strait affairs, said Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the office.

Wang is head of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council. The council said last week it will send an invitation to Zhang in early February.
