TAIPEI, Taiwan — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is arranging for Foreign Minister David Lee (李大維) to visit Latin American next month to meet with local senior officials to solidify ties with allies in the region, a MOFA official said Thursday.

Miguel Tsao (曹立傑), director-general of MOFA’s Department of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs, said at a regular news briefing that the department is scheduling for August a visit by Lee to the region where 12 of the R.O.C’s 22 diplomatic allies are located.

Lee’s scheduled weeklong trip is principally intended as an opportunity for him to host an annual regional briefing featuring 22 R.O.C. ambassadors and top representatives stationed in countries in the region.

“During the briefing, the minister will seek to convey the new administration’s diplomatic policies,” he said.     [FULL  STORY]
