由高啟中教授邀請為台灣兩岸事務的政要的 劉德勳教授到校演講，分享他在台灣《海峽兩岸經濟合作架構協議（Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement，ECFA）》談判與簽署一路上的觀察與了解。

劉德勳教授是台灣兩岸事務的要員。過去曾任中華民國監察院第五屆監察委員、陸委會特任副主委和海峽交流基金會代理董事長。在台灣兩岸事務的推進中，扮演極為重要的角色。ECFA是海峽兩岸之間的雙邊經濟協議，此協議主要目的為促進未來貨品貿易與服務貿易協議的協商、建立投資保障機制、推動經濟合作、貨品與服務貿易早期收穫等。兩岸以世界貿易組織為基本原則，考量雙方的經濟條件，以「逐步到位」為目標，逐步減少、消除兩岸的貿易和投資障礙，以期創造公平的貿易與投資環境。最後，兩岸希望透過簽署ECFA，能進一步增進雙方的貿易投資關係，建立雙贏、共榮合作機制。

劉德勳教授與學生們分享ECFA的「秘辛」。教授豐富的學識與經驗為學生帶來精采的演講，除了以專業的角度分享台灣過去在ECFA談判桌的經歷，也向學生分析了過去政壇對ECFA的態度。讓學生深入了解談判桌上即便因為利益關係，雙方會稍有嫌隙，但其實在談判桌下，雙方的友誼可以是堅強而美好的。

Prof. Kao invited Prof. Liu, who is a prominent figure in Taiwan's cross-strait affairs, to give a talk to the university, sharing his observations and understanding of the negotiation and signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA).

Prof. Liu is a key figure in Taiwan's cross-strait affairs. In the past, he served as a member of the Fifth Supervisory Committee of the Control Yuan, a special deputy member of the Mainland Affairs Council, and the Acting Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation. He has played an extremely important role in the promotion of cross-strait affairs in Taiwan. ECFA is a bilateral economic agreement between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the main purpose of which is to promote the negotiation of future agreements on trade in goods and trade in services, the establishment of a mechanism to safeguard investment, the promotion of economic cooperation, and the early harvest of trade in goods and services, etc. The agreement is based on the principles of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Based on the basic principles of the World Trade Organization and taking into account the economic conditions of both sides, the two sides will aim to “step by step” to gradually reduce and eliminate trade and investment barriers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, with a view to creating a fair trade and investment environment. Finally, both sides of the Taiwan Strait hope that the signing of ECFA will further enhance the trade and investment relationship between the two sides and establish a win-win, co-prosperous cooperation mechanism.

Prof. Liu shared the “secret” of ECFA with the students. The professor's rich knowledge and experience brought an excellent speech to the students. In addition to sharing Taiwan's past experience at the ECFA negotiation table from a professional point of view, he also analyzed the attitude of the political circle towards ECFA in the past to let the students have a deeper understanding of the situation at the negotiation table even if it is not a good idea to have a good relationship with Taiwan. He also analyzed the attitude of the political circle towards ECFA in the past. He let the students understand that even though there may be a little bit of animosity between the two sides at the negotiation table because of their interests, the friendship between the two sides under the negotiation table can actually be strong and beautiful.
