President Tsai Ing-wen has congratulated US President-elect Joe Biden and US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. That’s after the US Congress certified Biden and Harris’ victories in the November election on Thursday.
Tsai said Thursday evening that she hopes the Biden administration will thrive and that Taiwan-US relations will deepen.
Presidential Office Spokesperson Xavier Chang said that the US is an important ally and a solid partner that shares Taiwan’s values of freedom and democracy. Chang said that in recent years, Taiwan and the US have been working together in the areas of politics, the economy, and security. Chang said that Tsai also thanked the outgoing Trump administration for its strong support for enhanced Taiwan-US relations, and for its assistance to Taiwan.
Chang said that Taiwan will continue to strengthen its cooperation with the US in order to jointly promote the well-being of the people of both sides and in order to maintain regional peace, stability, and prosperity.
