Taiwan president urges democracies to unite at largest-ever gathering of foreign lawmakers in Taipei

Hindustan Times  

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te welcomed what he called the “largest-ever” delegation of foreign lawmakers to Taiwan and said Tuesday it showed the importance of democracies uniting, even as Beijing pressured members of the delegation not to visit. Taiwan president urges democracies to unite at largest-ever gathering of foreign lawmakers in Taipei “This demonstrates the support and the value various other countries place on Taiwan,” Lai said. Lai made his remarks at a conference in Taipei held by the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, or IPAC, a group of hundreds of lawmakers from 35 countries concerned about how democracies approach Beijing. China has ramped up pressure against the island since Lai took office in May, sending ships and planes on a large military drill to show displeasure at his inauguration.
