U.S. think tank "Center for Strategic and International Studies" (CSIS) President John Hamre led a delegation to Taiwan. During a meeting today, Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung stated that Taiwan continues to invest in key emerging technology fields and is working with international partners to build secure, trustworthy, and highly resilient non-Red supply chains. Hamre noted that Taiwan is indispensable to global supply chains.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a press release this evening stating that Lin Chia-lung met with the delegation led by CSIS President John Hamre on April 20th. They engaged in extensive exchanges on topics such as Taiwan-U.S. relations and bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
Lin Chia-lung explained that Taiwan's "comprehensive diplomacy" covers three major aspects: value diplomacy, alliance diplomacy, and economic diplomacy. He hopes to fully leverage Taiwan's hard power in the semiconductor and high-tech sectors, as well as its soft power in democratic values, to continue deepening substantive partnerships with like-minded countries.
Lin Chia-lung elaborated that Taiwan is continuously expanding its investments in key emerging technology fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, next-generation communication, and defense innovation. The core objective of this strategy is not only to strengthen Taiwan's own economic resilience but also to join hands with international partners to jointly build secure, trustworthy, and highly resilient non-Red supply chains.
John Hamre pointed out that after taking over CSIS in 2000, he chose Taiwan as his first overseas destination for a delegation visit. Based on his observations during this trip, compared to 26 years ago, Taiwan's economic strength and technological R&D capabilities have made significant progress, bearing the distinct mark of "innovation." Furthermore, it still possesses a vibrant democratic society, which he highly commends.
Hamre praised the steady development of Taiwan-U.S. relations, stating that Taiwan is not only an important economic and technological partner for the United States but also plays an indispensable key role in global supply chains.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this CSIS delegation consists of renowned American scholars and former government officials, reflecting the high level of attention and continuous support from the U.S. policy circles across party lines for Taiwan-related issues and Taiwan-U.S. relations.
