A delegation including Indiana’s governor arrived in Taiwan on Sunday to begin trade talks with Taipei amid increased U.S. political tensions with China, which launched a barrage of military drills near the island in response to visits this month by U.S. government officials.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said on Twitter, “We’re excited to renew links with good friends and deepen our partnership with the great U.S. state of Indiana.” On Sunday, Douglas Hsu, a top official in Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry, welcomed Holcomb after he landed in Taiwan. The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it believed “the visit will help continue to enhance and strengthen bilateral relations and deepen the mutually beneficial partnership between Taiwan and the United States.”
On Sunday, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said it had detected 12 aircraft and five vessels from China’s People’s Liberation Army near its territory.
