Members of a visiting U-S congressional bipartisan delegation have held talks
with President Tsai Ing-wen, president-elect Lai Ching-te and vice
president-elect Hsiao Bi-khim.

The delegation is being lead by Representative Jack Bergman, who is a member
of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee and chairman of the
Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee.

During their meeting, Tsai thanked the cross-party group for its continuing
promotion of exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan and the U-S... to
jointly safeguard regional peace and stability.

Tsai also thanked the US government and Congress for assisting Taiwan to
bolster its self-defense capabilities, including passing legislation to
allocate funds for foreign military aid and expedite weapon deliveries to
Taiwan.

Bergman said the visit is aimed at showing continued support for Taiwan.


The American Institute in Taiwan says the congressional delegation is
visiting Taiwan to discuss US-Taiwan relations, regional security, trade and
investment, and other significant issues of mutual interest.

A-I-T also says the delegation's Taiwan visit is part of a larger trip to the
Indo-Pacific region.
