U-S Senator Jeff Merkley is visiting Taiwan this week.
A representative with the American Institute in Taiwan said the lawmaker will be meeting with senior government officials to discuss US-Taiwan relations, regional security, trade and investment, and other significant issues of mutual interest.
The Taiwan trip has been described as part of a larger visit to the Indo-Pacific region.
Merkley is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and co-chair of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
A-I-T says he has led the Congress' efforts to strengthen partnerships across the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan.
Merkley arrived in Taiwan on Monday and will leave tomorrow.
