President Tsai Ing-wen met with the Speaker of the St. Kitts and Nevis National Assembly, Anthony Michael Perkins on Friday. St. Kitts and Nevis is one of Taiwan’s Caribbean allies.
During the meeting, Tsai thanked Perkins for his country’s continuous support of Taiwan.
Tsai said,“I want to thank the government of St. Kitts and Nevis, especially for speaking boldly in support of Taiwan many times at important international events. Prime Minister Timothy Harris has spoken up for Taiwan at the UN General Assembly three times. On behalf of the Republic of China government and all the people of Taiwan, I express my deepest gratitude for your staunch support.”
The Republic of China is Taiwan’s official name.
Tsai said she hopes the two countries can cooperate on promoting tourism. She also called for further bilateral cooperation in the areas of technical skills education, vocational training, construction, and medical skills.
