Lu Hsiao-yan Sends Flowers to Han Kuo-yu on His Birthday, Wishes Him Success on U.S. Trip

(Central News Agency reporter Hao Hsueh-ching, Taichung, June 17) Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu celebrated his birthday today. Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiao-yan said she sent flowers to congratulate him, describing their relationship as 'like brother and sister,' and included a card with the message 'Happy birthday, smooth visit to the U.S.'

The 69-year-old Han Kuo-yu will lead a bipartisan group of legislators to the United States on June 21 to conduct parliamentary diplomacy. The 64-year-old Lu Hsiao-yan returned to Taiwan on June 15 after completing her visit to Europe. On her first day back, she chaired a city affairs meeting yesterday, and today she is scheduled to take commemorative photos with graduates receiving the Mayor's Award from Taichung's senior high schools and below.

When asked by the media if she had sent birthday greetings to Han Kuo-yu, Lu Hsiao-yan responded affirmatively, saying she had sent flowers because they share a 'sibling-like' bond, and the card read 'Happy birthday, smooth visit to the U.S.' (Edited by Huang Ming-hsi) 1150617
