Chinese, March 10, 2017: US Representative Debbie Lesko, Andy Biggs, and Carol Miller made their way to Taiwan on Sunday for diplomatic talks with government officials, according to Taiwan News.
The delegation’s appearance was welcomed by Taiwan News, which demonstrated the US Congress’s unwavering support for Taiwan and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
According to Taiwan News, the delegation’s visit comes as Taiwan and the US work together to strengthen defense assistance.
During the visit, he will meet with President Lai Ching-te and Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung to explore US-Taiwan relations, the safety position in the Taiwan Strait, and economic and energy plans.
According to Taiwan News, the US agent even attends the Taiwan celebration on National Day.
Lesko previously traveled to Taiwan in 2016 as a member of the US Southwest state congressional delegation, but the other members were making their second appearance, according to MOFA.
The protection of Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific have long been priorities for all three legislators.
The foreign ministry stated that Taiwan will continue to work strongly with US companions to strengthen the bilateral relationship and advance local harmony and prosperity.
The US plans to send a team to Taiwan next year to assess whether it would be possible for Taiwan’s National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST ) to build and produce 1, 985 Stinger missiles, according to Taiwan News.
The team will assess NCSIST’s professional capacity, manufacturing capabilities, and security steps.
During the Taiwan-US Defense Industry Conference last quarter, both sides agreed that Taiwan may be a significant partner for the US military business, leading to mutually beneficial growth, the Taiwan News reported.
The event gave Taiwanese authorities the opportunity to discuss problems with US defense contractors and strengthen bilateral cooperation systems and communication platforms.
