Vice President of the Legislative Yuan Johnny C. Chiang departs for the U.S. to attend event organized by the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America, followed by a congressional diplomacy trip to France to discuss Taiwan’s participation in international organizations and responses to misinformation with French senators.
Vice President Johnny C. Chiang of the Legislative Yuan departed for the U.S. on the evening of November 10 and is expected to arrive in Florida on the morning of November 11 (U.S. time). He plans to attend an event organized by the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America (TCCNA), in which he will meet with members from the House of Representatives and local political leaders. After a two-day stay in the U.S., he will then depart for France to carry out an in-depth and substantial dialogue with French senators.
Vice President Chiang noted that the 2nd Board of Directors Meeting of the 37th TCCNA is to take place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The organizer had extended a warm invitation long ago to Vice President Chiang to attend the meeting. As the U.S. election came to an end, he will use this visit to meet members of the House of Representatives and exchange opinions with various sectors in the U.S. to understand local perspectives regarding the election results and their potential influence on Taiwan. Following a short two-day visit in the U.S., Vice President Chiang will immediately proceed to France to join members of the Legislative Yuan who are part of the delegation visiting France.
Invited by the French Senate, the Legislative Yuan formed a cross-party delegation to visit France and conduct further exchanges. With Vice President Chiang leading the delegation, its members consist of Taiwan-France Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association President, Legislator Lin Chu-Yin, and Vice President, Legislator Chiu Yi-Ying, KMT Legislators Ko Chih-En and Alice Chang, as well as TPP Legislator Lin Yi-Chun.
Vice President Chiang mentioned that the delegation is an institutionalization of the parliamentary exchanges between the French Senate and the Legislative Yuan. Over the past two years, both sides have built a wealth of experiences through their interactions and mutual visits, establishing a dialogue platform of trust and cooperation through a mechanism of periodical and continuous exchanges.
Vice President Chiang expressed that both sides will seek opportunities of cooperation regarding how to respond to participation in international organizations and misinformation. He believed that through parliamentary diplomacy, Taiwan can make more international friends, enabling them to understand Taiwan’s warmth and sincerity. By doing so, they will be more willing to speak up for Taiwan on the international stage in the future.
