Taipei, March 4 (CNA) The Marshall Islands will always show support for Taiwan based on the two countries’ shared values of freedom and democracy, the country’s parliamentary speaker Kenneth A. Kedi said Monday.

Kedi, who arrived on a four-day visit Monday morning, told Taiwan’s Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全) at a meeting later in Taipei that his country’s parliament recently passed a resolution expressing the Pacific island nation’s support for Taiwan.

The resolution praises Taiwan’s democratic achievements and affirms that Taiwan is a worthy partner for peace and prosperity in the region, Kedi said.

The Marshall Islands was especially intent on passing the resolution at a time when China continues to heighten its hostility toward Taiwan and its allies because of its desire for peace and stability in the region, according to the parliamentary speaker.    [FULL  STORY]
