The Double Tenth Agreement, formally known as the Summary of Conversations Between the Government and Representatives of the Communist Party of China, was a pact between the Kuomintang-ruled Nationalist government (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The agreement was concluded on 10 October 1945, the Double Ten Day of the Republic of China (ROC), following 43 days of talks known as the Chongqing Negotiations (Chinese: 重慶談判). Held in Chongqing, China, from 29 August to 10 October 1945, the negotiations were highlighted by a meeting between CCP Chairman Mao Zedong and KMT Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, marking the first time the two leaders had met in 20 years. It would also be their final meeting. Mao and United States Ambassador to China Patrick J. Hurley had flown together to Chongqing on 27 August to initiate the talks, though most of the subsequent negotiations were undertaken by Wang Shijie and Zhou Enlai, representing the KMT and the CCP, respectively. The outcome of the agreement was that the CCP acknowledged the KMT as the legitimate government, while the KMT in return recognized the CCP as a legitimate opposition party. Additionally, the Shangdang Campaign, an ongoing military conflict that had begun on 10 September, came to an end on 12 October as a result of the agreement's announcement. The document was formally signed at what is now the Red Rock Village Museum in Chongqing.
