President departs for Central America

Thursday, 30 March 2023 05:31 Taipei Times

President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday afternoon left Taiwan on a 10-day trip to Central America that includes stopovers in New York and Los Angeles.

“Through this visit, I will express my gratitude to diplomatic partners for their support of Taiwan,” Tsai said at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport shortly before boarding the plane.

The trip to Guatemala and Belize — her first overseas journey since the COVID-19 pandemic began sweeping around the world in early 2020 — aims to “demonstrate Taiwan’s determination to deepen exchanges” with its Central American allies, she said.

Former president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday departed for a 12-day trip to China as scheduled, despite calls for him to cancel the trip after Honduras severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan as an apparent result of China’s dollar diplomacy.

“This is my first trip to China. I was 37 when I began handling cross-strait affairs in the government. Now I am 73 and have waited 36 years for the visit. It is indeed a bit too long, but I am glad I can go,” Ma of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) told reporters at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

DHARAMSHALA, December 7: Following the recent spate of self-immolations in Tibet, senior Japanese leaders, including two vice ministers and two members of parliament, pledged their support for the Tibetan cause and signed a petition urging immediate global intervention in Tibet.

The Japanese leaders were the latest to join an impressive list of world leaders and Nobel Laureates, calling for a coordinated international response to condemn China’s repressive measures in Tibet and demanding an immediate withdraw of China’s security forces from Ngaba and across Tibet.
