The Taipei metro knife attack last week was a reminder of solidarity and vigilance, President William Lai (賴清德) said yesterday, in a call to improve Taiwan’s emergency response capabilities.

He made the remarks in his opening speech for a Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee workshop.

Since its first meeting in September last year, the committee has conducted multiple tabletop and field exercises to strengthen national preparedness, he said.
