Abstract
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is the largest single-dish radio telescope in the world, and is now being commissioned after the first light in September 2016. Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is among the key science topics according to the original design. The FAST VLBI system has been established, and the first VLBI fringe has been successfully obtained. FAST will significantly improve the sensitivity of the existing VLBI networks in the future, and some science projects in need of high sensitivity will benefit from its participation.
