At the end of October 1994, the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) proposed that the Sixth Meeting on Functional Issues after the Koo-Wang Talks be held in Shanghai or Nanjing. The Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) agreed to hold the meeting in Nanjing.

　　On November 21, a 12-person delegation led by SEF Deputy Secretary-general Shi Hwei-you flew to Nanjing. That evening, Deputy Secretary-general Shi and Mr. Sun Yafu of ARATS met for a working dinner, during which they determined the meeting agenda and itinerary. ARATS refused to include in the agenda matters related to public announcements of inheritance estates in the mainland since the Taiwan side would not agree to arrange a timetable for talks on other various issues.

　　On the morning of November 22, the SEF representatives visited the tomb of the national founder Dr. Sun Yat-sen to pay respects. In response to a question from reporters, Deputy Secretary-general Shi shared his understanding of Dr. Sun's thinking. In the afternoon, the two sides discussed "the repatriation of cross-strait hijackers and related questions."

　　On the morning of November 23, the two sides held discussions on the "repatriation of people who enter the area of the other side in violation of relevant regulations [illegal migrants] and related questions." That afternoon, they held talks on the "handling of marine fishing disputes between the two sides." The conclusion of the first round of talks was delayed due to ARATS' unwillingness to exchange written minutes of the discussion. The mainland side also claimed that the Chiao-Tang consensus could not be changed, yet it made many unauthorized additions and deletions from the text of the consensus according to its own needs, thereby limiting the progress of the talks.

　　On the morning of November 24, the two sides held discussions on "opening up cross-strait express mail service." The Taiwan side proposed that the negotiations be based on the original agreement on registered mail. However, the mainland side insisted on including goods within the scope of opening and that related contacts be handled directly by the postal units of the two sides. The mainland side also expressed the view that mail "must be delivered via a third region." It attempted to go beyond the original agreement framework and achieve postal, shipping and even air traffic objectives. This prevented in-depth discussion on technical issues related to opening up express mail service. In the afternoon, discussions were held on "increasing the types of mailed copies of certificates of authentication." The two sides decided on the following language: "The Straits Exchange Foundation, Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits, and China Notaries' Association have decided, according to Article 2 of the 'Agreement on the Use and Verification of Certificates of Authentication Across the Taiwan Straits' to add tax, medical history, and professional certifications to the scope of certificate of authentication copies." The two sides also agreed to implement the agreement through exchange of letters. Regarding the effective period, the Taiwan side proposed that the agreement be implemented as soon as possible to serve the public. However, the mainland side insisted that implementation be delayed to February 1, 1995, due to the many agencies involved. During the talks, the two sides settled accounts for document verification fees. It was calculated that the Taiwan side should pay the mainland side US$25,404 for the period from January 1 to June 30, 1994.

　　On the morning of November 25, the two sides held the second round of talks on "the repatriation of cross-strait hijackers and related questions." That afternoon they held the second round of talks on "repatriation of people who enter the area of the other side in violation of relevant regulations [illegal migrants] and related questions."

　　On the morning of November 26, the two sides held a second round of talks on "handling of marine fishing disputes between the two sides." In the afternoon, they continued with the second round of discussions on "opening up cross-strait express mail service."

　　On the morning of November 27, the two sides held a general discussion on three annual topics. The afternoon discussions addressed "regulations for the arbitration of cross-strait fishing disputes."

　　The key point of the meeting was to produce a written decision, initialed by both sides, on the three said issues. Although the two sides had reached a high level of consensus on key issues in early August, the final written agreement fell short of expectations due to numerous side issues.
