Taiwan’s new premier, William Lai, visited two former premiers on Sunday. That was two days after taking office along with a new Cabinet on Friday, replacing outgoing Premier Lin Chuan.

Lai visited former Premier Su Tseng-chang on Sunday morning. Su served from 2006 to 2007 under former President Chen Shui-bian. The Democratic Progressive Party heavyweight then went on to chair his party from 2012-2014.

Su had high praise for the incoming premier, saying that they’d known each other for many years. Lai thanked Su for his affirmation, saying that he wanted to learn from the former premier’s experience in enabling his Cabinet members to play to their strengths.    [FULL  STORY]
