President William Lai (賴清德) yesterday urged unity as China’s latest large-scale military drills around Taiwan entered their second day, accusing Beijing of escalating regional tensions.

“The Chinese Communist Party has continued to escalate military tension in the region, which is not the behavior of a responsible world power,” he wrote on Facebook

“Maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait and the Indo-Pacific region is an international consensus, and Taiwan, as a responsible regional partner, will continue to uphold this goal,” Lai said.

Israel recognizes that Somaliland provides an opportunity for trilateral cooperation between Taiwan, Israel and Somaliland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said yesterday, adding that Taipei would continue to seek more cooperative opportunities with the two nations, as well as deepen connections with like-minded partners.

Israel yesterday formally recognized Somaliland as an “independent and sovereign state,” as leaders of both sides signed a joint recognition pact that stated: “This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords.”

The Abraham Accords are a set of agreements brokered by the US that normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab nations, signed in 2020 during US President Donald Trump’s first term.
