Chinese Kuomintang presidential candidateshou yuyiOn the fifth day of an official visit to the United States, we visited four think tanks and the headquarters of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and paid courtesy visits.New York CityIt was reported that the original itinerary of the US-Western itinerary was to meet Hou YouyimichiganMinister Gretchen Whitmer’s “invitation was accepted” by Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry. She visited Taiwan a week ago and the only person she met was Taiwan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Lee Chun. Therefore, before Hou Youyi left, his office canceled his meeting with the Governor of Michigan.
Hou Youyi said in an interview on the morning of the 19th that her visit to the United States had been planned for a long time. For example, I wanted to meet the president of AIT, and AIT asked me to come to his office, as well as visit research institutes, foundations, think tanks, and even New York City. The talks with the Mayor of New York, the New York Police Chief, and the overseas Chinese community have been planned for a long time, and everything is according to plan. So far, everything has gone very smoothly. Thanks to you all for your help.
In this regard, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always welcomes the visit of delegations led by the governors of various states to the United States to promote cooperation and exchanges in economy, trade, education, culture and other aspects. Have welcomed. So far this year, four governors have visited. The Ministry of External Affairs will continue to promote relevant actions based on national interest considerations. With regard to foreign guests’ visit dates and itinerary to Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always takes the purpose and convenience of guests as the principle of Taiwan visit. The relevant itinerary has long been reported, but has never been considered and has no way of knowing the itinerary plans of individual presidential candidates.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said Whitmer, the current governor of Michigan, will visit Taiwan from September 11 to 12 as one of the stops on her Asian tour. The date and duration of the visit will be solely considered and planned by the Governor’s office. The Diplomacy Department will handle the needs of the visitors to ensure a successful visit. The Michigan governor will leave Taiwan after his current visit on September 12. The latter arrangements have nothing to do with his visit to Taiwan, and are unlikely to affect invitations to individual candidates after September 14. In short, the media reports that the breakdown in the meeting between Mayor Hou and the Governor has nothing to do with the Governor’s visit to Taiwan.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said that as the election approaches, it sincerely hopes that all walks of life will respect the neutral stance of the public service system, work together to take into account national interests, and maintain diplomatic efforts and Unnecessary consumption of results will be avoided. For political views.
