TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The Committee on Foreign Affairs of the French National Assembly recently published a 77 page report on the territory disputes and rising tensions in the South China Sea.
The report concludes that Taiwan’s increased engagement with multiple partners in the region will be crucial to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific, and in formulating a multilateral approach to solving disputes in the South China Sea.
The report is signed by lawmakers representing two of France’s three major political parties, Jean-Luc Reitzer of the Republican Party, and Delphine O of the En Marche! Party.
The report by the Committee’s South China Sea strategy group is the result of a year’s worth of research and input received from countries with territorial claims in the South China Sea. Taiwan’s envoy in Paris, Wu Chih-chung (吳志中), was also interviewed as part of the report, according to CNA. [FULL STORY]
