Foreign Minister Joseph Wu says that Taiwan’s relations with its diplomatic allies are stable. His remarks came during a report to the legislature on Monday.
Wu did mention that the foreign ministers of the Holy See and China had met in Germany, but he said their discussions did not touch upon diplomacy. He said there was nothing to worry about in Taiwan’s relations with any of its 15 official diplomatic allies, including the Vatican.
Wu also responded to questions about the likelihood of the United States passing the TAIPEI Act. The act would allow the US to take measures against countries that break ties with Taiwan. It has passed both the Senate and the House. Now it needs to go back to the Senate for another vote because it has been revised. Wu said he expects the act to pass without issue.
Wu also responded to a question about the possibility of inviting member counties of the World Health Organization (WHO) to meetings in Taiwan. The foreign minister said that the idea was a good one, and that he will work with the relevant departments to make it possible.
