The US Democratic Party has included support for Taiwan in its 2020 party platform. The party approved the platform on Monday during its 2020 convention.
The text of the platform reiterates the party’s commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act, the basis of Taiwan-US ties. It also supports the peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues in line with the hopes and interests of Taiwan’s people.
The foreign ministry has welcomed the party platform’s inclusion of pro-Taiwan language.
On Thursday, the ministry said that Taiwan has friendly, long-standing relationships with both the US Democratic and US Republican parties. The ministry said the inclusion of pro-Taiwan language in the Democrats’ platform this year shows the high-level of importance the party places on strengthening Taiwan-US ties and on cross-strait peace.
The ministry said that it will continue working with both Democrats and Republicans to deepen the global Taiwan-US partnership.
