U.S. Secretary of Health arrives in Taiwan Visits the highest official since disconnection August 9 19:10
U.S. Secretary of Health Trump's administration arrived in Taiwan on the evening of the 9th. China has been strongly repulsed as the visit of the highest official since the United States made a deal with Taiwan 41 years ago.
US Secretary of Health and Welfare arrived at the airport in Taipei City around 6 pm on the 9th of Japan time.
Regarding this visit, the US government will discuss with the senior officials of the Taiwanese authorities about the US-Taiwan relations and measures against new coronavirus infection.
According to Taiwanese media and others, the length of stay is about 4 days, and on the 10th, we plan to meet with President Cai Ing-wen.
On the visit of Mr. Azar to Taiwan, the US government says that it is the first ministerial level in six years and is the highest official since the disconnection in 1979.
The American government's representative body in Taipei, the Association of American Residents in Taiwan, said it was a "historic visit," and added that it "strengthens the partnership between the United States and Taiwan and deepens cooperation between both parties in the fight against infection." I am emphasizing.
While the US Trump administration has taken a strong stance towards China, it is strengthening its relations with Taiwan, and China strongly opposes this visit by saying "it will take strong retaliation."
