Taiwan committed to peace, Lai says to the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council delegation

Taiwan is committed to working with democratic countries to safeguard regional peace and stability, and it aims to join the U.S.-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), president-elect William Lai told a U.S.-Taiwan Business Council delegation yesterday.

Lai told the delegation, led by former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, energy, and the Environment Keith Krach, Taiwan is pivotal in preserving peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. As president, he would seek to maintain the “status quo” in the Taiwan Strait.
