At least 27 members of Japanese Diet’s House of Representatives will attend national day celebrations. The delegation will be led by the head of the Japan-ROC Diet Members’ Consultative Council Hiranuma Takeo. ROC is the Republic of China which is Taiwan’s official name.
Foreign ministry official Chang Jen-joe said that the number of visiting Japanese Diet members could increase. Chang said that Taiwan-Japan relations have not been affected by a recent trade dispute caused by restrictions on the import of Japanese foodstuffs.
