TAIPEI, March 9 — Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen plans to stop off in Los Angeles and New York as part of a visit to Central America, a government minister said today, a sensitive itinerary Tsai’s office has yet to confirm.
China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, said on Wednesday it was “seriously concerned” by Tsai’s “transit” plans and had asked Washington for clarification. Asked by a lawmaker in parliament about Tsai’s arrangements for meeting with overseas Taiwanese while she is abroad, minister of the Overseas Community Affairs Council Hsu Chia-ching said it was confirmed one of these events would happen in New York.
“On the west coast it’s most likely Los Angeles, but Los Angeles is very big so we don’t know in which area,” Hsu said, adding she would be part of the delegation going on the trip.“We are still planning the president’s schedule. As soon as details are finalised we will make them public,” it said in response to a question from Reuters.
