Taipei, Taiwan - Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim has returned from a historic diplomatic trip to Europe, where she met with European leaders and reaffirmed Taiwan's commitment to international participation. In a statement at the airport, Hsiao emphasized that Taiwan is not isolated, but rather has a growing network of like-minded allies worldwide. The visit, which was seen as a breakthrough in Taiwan's diplomatic efforts, has sparked a strong reaction from China. Beijing views Taiwan as its own territory and has condemned Hsiao's trip as a serious interference in its internal affairs. Despite the challenges, Taiwan's government remains resolute in its pursuit of international recognition. Hsiao's message of solidarity with Europe and other democratic nations underscores Taiwan's determination to participate in the global community. Former President Tsai Ing-wen is set to visit Berlin this week, where she will address a conference and reiterate Taiwan's commitment to its international partnerships. Tsai called Hsiao's Brussels trip 'extraordinary significance for Taiwan,' and praised the country's relationship with Europe as a 'trusted partnership.' As the international community continues to grapple with the complexities of Taiwan-China relations, Hsiao's message of hope and cooperation serves as a beacon of optimism. Taiwan's resolve to engage with the world, despite the risks, is a testament to its democratic values and its commitment to global participation.
